| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Union of Brest |
 | | In 1590 the metropolitan, Rahosa, convoked a synod at Brest for 24 June. |
 | | This document was presented to the Synod of Brest, at which the metropolitan and the Bishop of Vladimir assisted; it was accepted and approved, but kept secret, for reasons of prudence. |
 | | On 24 June, 1594, the Ruthenian bishops again assembled at Brest, but their meeting had no synodal character, as Sigismund III was in Sweden, and no synod could be held in the absence of the sovereign. |
