Caption:Saint Stanislaw leads Piotr before the Royal Tribunal.

The Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów, a bishop, purchased for the diocese a piece of land situated on the banks of the Vistula near Lublin from a certain Piotr, but the estate was claimed back by Piotr's family after his death. The king's ruling was in favor of the claimants, but – according to a legend – Stanislaus resurrected Piotr so that he could confirm that he had sold the land to the bishop. According to Augustin Calmet, an 18th century biblical scholar, Stanislaus asked the king if he could have three days to produce his witness Piotr. The king and the court were said to have laughed at his absurd request but the king allowed Stanislaus three days. Stanislaus spent three days in constant prayer and on the third day, dressed in his full bishop's insignia, he went with a procession to the cemetery where Piotr had been buried three years before. He is said to have had Piotr's grave dug up until his remains were discovered. Then it is said that Stanislaus in front of a multitude of witnesses commanded Piotr to rise and he did. Piotr was then dressed in a cloak and brought to tetsify in Stanislaus's favor before the king. Dumbfounded the court said nothing as Piotr repremanded his three sons and testified that Stanislaus had indeed paid for the land. Unable to give any other verdict, the king is said to have dropped the suit against the bishop. Stanislaus asked Piotr if he would like to remain alive and he is said to have declined, and so he was laid to rest once again in his grave and buried.
