In Pierściec, which is situated the north of Skoczów, in Cieszyn Silesia, we can encounter one of the few sanctuaries of Saint Nicholas in Poland. The local cult of the holy bishop of Myra is related to the miraculous salvation of his figures from the fire which burnt down the local wooden church at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Holy relics from the 60s of the last century can be found in the new church, which was built in the late nineteenth century.
