The believers seek salvation which can be achieved in many ways. One of them was joining a church brotherhood. Whoever willing was accepted to the church brotherhood, there were no restrictions about possessions, origins or socio-economical conditions. The only requirement was the will to reach the grace of heaven, which created the bond of brotherhood in their fraternal prayers and the care about the poor. Beside that, brothers took care of the chapels, alters and feretories, which all had a great influence on the lay people to be more active in the parishes.
The person of Saint Francis of Assisi inspired the great people of different epochs, cultures and religions. Francis’ ideas were realized by both consecrated and secular people, as well as by the members of the fraternities, among which was archconfraternity of Paska Saint Francis of Assisi.
Archconfraternity of Paska was founded in the basilica (Assisi) and confirmed by the Pope Sixtus V (1585–1590). In Poland the archconfraternity well spread in the second half of XVI century.
The popularity and variety of brotherhoods had a great influence on the growing number of charity works. It contributed to adorning and building the churches and chapels. They left marks in literature and art.
