This article concerns the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of the death of the Blessed (now Saint) John of Dukla in 1884 in Lviv. In the celebrations organized by the Order of Friars Minor the clergy of all rites participated: Roman Catholic, Armenian Catholic and Greek Catholic, as well as the Lviv authorities and the representatives of social and cultural life. The participation of secular factors added a political tinge to religious celebrations, through frequent recollections of the legend about the after-death protection of Lviv by John of Dukla. Recalling that story in 1884 was supposed to make the multi-ethnic population of Lviv (esp. the Jews and Ukrainians) realize how much they had in common historically. Emphasizing the bonds between Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia and treating John of Dukla as the patron of one common state, prompted opposition on the part of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in Lviv. That cultural and historical confrontation found response in the contemporary press. The aim of this article is to present Polish and Ukrainian points of view on the issue of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of death of John of Dukla based on contemporary texts, both literary and journalist in nature. The article also aims to draw attention to the significance of the 1884 jubilee in the context of developing Ukrainian historical awareness and adapting the Cossack myth to the national mythology by the Ukrainians from Eastern Galicia.
