THE RELIGIOUS CELEBRATION OF THE UNION OF POLAND AND LITHUANIA
This interesting event in the history of Eastern Europe was proclaimed on July 1st, 1569. The union was, in fact, an incorporation by Poland of Lithuania, which henceforth ceased
to be an independent state. When the oaths to the treaty were administered, the two parties to it shed tears, but while Poland's tears were of joy, those of Lithuania were of sorrow.
From the painting by Matejko.
