Hi Pega .. yes it is treasures, see here ..........

St Lawrence (or St Laurence) was one of seven deacons in charge of giving to the poor. His Pope, St. Sixtus, was condemned to death. As he was led to execution, Lawrence followed, asking "Where are you going without your Deacon?". The Pope replied, "In three days you will follow me." Overjoyed, Lawrence quickly gave all the money to hand away to the poor. The Prefect of Rome, a pagan, demanded that Lawrence bring the Church's treasure to him. Lawrence brought all the sick and poor, showed them to the Prefect saying, "This is the Church's treasure!" This angered the Prefect who sentenced Lawrence to death by roasting on a gridle. He endured the agonies with much fortitude, even, according to legend, managing a joke with the executioner. He is the patron saint of deacons, fire-fighters and cooks.
