Kirill and Methodius
Saints Kirill and Methodius were 9th-century Byzantine brothers who are credited with creating the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe the Old Church Slavonic language. Their mission to the Slavic peoples was instrumental in the spread of literacy and Christianity across Central and Eastern Europe. They translated religious texts and established a literary tradition that laid the groundwork for the development of Slavic languages. Their efforts not only promoted the use of the Slavic languages in religious contexts but also fostered a sense of cultural identity among Slavic peoples. Recognized as the 'Apostles to the Slavs,' they are celebrated for their significant contributions to the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Slavic world.
