Abstract

The cult of the saints, especially in the sixteenth century, was an important part of religious literature in the Polish-
Lithuanian state, due to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, but also because of the religious Catholic-Orthodox
polemics on the eve of the Union of Brest. Among Serbian and South-Slavonic saints the most famous were: St. Paraskeva-
Petka of Tyrnovo, St. Sava Serbian, St. Simon and St. John of Suchava.
The presence of South-Slavonic element in the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian
state is the local specificity that distinguishes Orthodoxy in the Republic and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the
Orthodox Church in the great Russian state.
