ENDuring archaeological research conducted in 2017, a decorated cast copper-alloy chest was unearthed at the intersection of Bernardinq, Sv. Mykolo and Maironio streets in Vilnius. This article gives the results of the research into the chest, and a wax plaque discovered inside it. It was found that the chest contained a wax plaque depicting the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) and the Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus. Such wax Agnus Dei plaques were made from the remains of Paschal candles, blessed by the Pope, and gifted by him to the outstanding faithful as a token of grace. Judging by the inscriptions on the plaque, this sacramental was made and consecrated in the seventh year of the papacy of Pope Paul V. The wax sacramental wrapped in linen paper was kept in a chest decorated with the monograms HIS and MARIA, and dated 1621. This is the only find of its kind so far in the records of Lithuanian archaeological research, and the oldest extant wax Agnus Dei sacramental in Lithuania. [From the publication]
