The translation of St. Florian's relics to Poland in 1184 is first mentioned in the capitular annals. Under the year 1184, it is recorded that Idzi of Modena transferred the relics of St. Florian to Kraków, where they were ceremoniously received by the then Bishop of Kraków, Gedka. Later annals only add minor details to this account. However, all sources emphasize the significant role of the Italian cleric, who was the main intermediary between Poland and the papacy at the time. The Pope decided to grant the Polish side the entire body of the martyr, which undoubtedly contributed to raising the prestige of the Kraków center. In addition, this strengthened the position of one of the initiators of the translation – Casimir the Just.
