Pahonya

Pahonya (Belarusian: Паго́ня translated as Chase) is a historical symbol known in Belarus since medieval times. More recenly, it was on the state seal of the Belarus National Republic, the coat of arms of the Belarusian Popular Front, and for a brief period it was the coat of arms of Belarus after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is originated during the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, just as the Vytis, the Coat of Arms of Lithuania, and looks very similar to Vytis. During the Battle of Grunwald regiments from Belarussian lands fought under the symbol of Pahonya. In fact, at these times the histories of Belarus and Lithuania were virtually inseparable.
