The article is devoted to the image of Jerusalem and in particular to the functioning of the concept 'Kiev as the Second Jerusalem' in the Orthodox Ruthenian literature in the first half of the seventeenth century. The source materials for the study are a number of diverse texts of the time: polemical literature, occasional verse, hagiography, epistles, forewords to liturgical books and collections of sermons. The tradition of comparing Kiev to Jerusalem, which arose during the period of Kievan Rus', acquired special significance in connection with the polemics and conflicts that arose after the Union of Brest was concluded in 1596. The tenor and function of the comparison of the two cities also changed over the course of several decades simultaneously with the change in the situation of the Orthodox province of Kiev. In the 1st decades of the seventeenth century - especially difficult ones for Orthodoxy - the motif of the Holy City was used in an eschatological context, and the Church of Jerusalem served as an example for a community, which, although enslaved, had not lost spiritual primacy. In turn, the revival of the Kievan ecclesiastical province and Ruthenian culture in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the time of Peter Mohyla was accompanied by usage of the biblical topos of 'Jerusalem triumphant', and the concept 'Kiev as the Ruthenian Zion' reflected the enthusiasm and hopes of Kievan Orthodox elite.

Theologian and polemicist Hypatius Pociej (Polish: Hipacy Pociej, 1541 – 1613) was a bishop of the eparchy of Volodymyr-Brest (now a part of Ukraine) and since 1599 until his death, he was Metropolitan of Kiev. He was Protestant, later Orthodox, and then Unitarian. Hypatius played an active role in the Union of Brest which aimed at uniting the Orthodox Church with the Catholic one. His polemical texts have rarely been the subject of academic study – especially so in the context of historical-religious context of the era. Still less researched is the polemic included in the collection of sermons published by the printing house of Supraśl monastery by the theologian and metropolitan Leon Kiszka (1663 – 1728) in 1714 in Polish translation under the title Kazania y homilie męża Bożego nieśmiertelney sławy: y pamięci Hipacyusza Pocieia […] z listem Melecyusza Patryarchy Alexandryiskiego, a responsem Hipacyusza [Sermons and homilies of the man of god of immortal fame and memory, Hypatius Pociej (…) with a letter by Meletius, Patriarch of Alexandria and a response from Hypatius]. The Polish translator made significant changes to the original text and adapted it to the new circumstances. Since in the early 18th century, the main task of the polemicists was a unification of the nation in one – Catholic – faith, Kiszka advocated the union in a narrowly Counter-Reformation spirit. The collection of sermons is a declaration of the sense of belonging and a programmatic manifest of the union. This was markedly strengthened by the polemic in the new Baroque-Counter-Reformation light.
