Description:

It is marked on the bottom. Text reads: “Hilf Du heil’ger Florian,wir fangen’s zweite Löschen an". (Help thou Holy Florian, we begin the second extinguishing). St. Florian was an officer of the Roman army who, after confessing his Christianity, was scourged, set on fire, and finally thrown into the river Enns with a stone around his neck. His recovered body was eventually removed to the Augustinian Abbey of St. Florian, near Linz. St. Florian is regarded as the patron of firefighters and is invoked as a protector from danger of fire. The “second extinguishing” in the text is a reference to the ability of beer to extinguish thirst.
