This article deals with the recognition of the relics of Blessed Jakub Strzemię, a Francis-can and archbishop of Halych who lived in the Middle Ages. The author presents subse-quent recognitions of his remains, beginning with a testimony published in the seventeenth century by a witness who was present when a coffin with Archbishop Jakub’s mortal re-mains was found in 1619 in Lviv and ending with a recognition that took place in 2009 in Krakow’s Wawel cathedral. Recognitions that were made in Lviv in 1907-1910 are especially important. On the basis of copies of documents from 1868 to 1910 originating in Lviv and found in the Provincial Archive of the Franciscans in Krakow (the only existing primary documents), the author explains certain matters related to funerary relics found in 2016 af-ter seventy years in an abandoned church in Ukraine: Blessed Jakub Strzemię’s funerary vestments as well as St. Faustinus the Martyr’s bones.
