The Church of St. Lawrence acquired its own relics by building an altar for the body of St. Diocarus. He is considered the patron saint of the city and the confessor of King Charles the Great. Holiness does not interfere with the fact that the time difference between the life of a saint and the creation of a church is more than two hundred years. St. Rochus from Italy also became a guest in the church of St. Lawrence and took root in it as well. Saint Roch is depicted with a bare thigh and plague ulcers on his leg. The image of this saint was brought to Nuremberg from Italy by noble German merchants. By the way, the same famous family of merchants gave the church a gilded spire of one of the two bell towers at the entrance. The beauty and greatness of the church were created not only by the holiness of the saints.
