| Notes | During the union parliamentary sessions in 1569, a holy mass was held at the Holy Trinity Chapel in Lublin, asking for successful deliberations. In one spot, on the wall, the writing has been preserved immortalised by a witness of the swearing-in ceremony of the Union of Lublin - Piotr Jeżewski of Prus Trzeci coat of arms. Carved by hand in the Chapel, next to 203 other preserved inscriptions, on the cover of the stairs leading to the matroneum. The Union of Lublin is an exceptional case of the democratic integration of two countries, which led to the peaceful and inclusive coexistence of people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
