This Church has existed since the 9th Century when it was established by [[Saints Cyril]] and [[Methodious]] but was part of the Church of Constantinople for most of its history.  In the 15th century most of the Orthodox in Poland fell away into Roman heresy and formed one of the Eastern-Rite Catholic Churches in communion with the Pope of [[Rome]].  In 1924 this much diminished Church was granted autocephaly. After WWII part of western Byelorussia was added to Poland.  With the territory came many Orthodox Christians.  Most Orthodox in Poland are descendants of these former Byelorussians.
