Day of Slavic Writing and Culture

Day of Slavic Writing and Culture (Day of Saints Cyril and Methodius)
Every year on May 24 in all Slavic countries celebrate the Day of Slavic writing and culture and solemnly glorify the creators of the Slavic writing of Saints Cyril and Methodius - Slovenian teachers. As you know, the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius came from a noble and pious family and lived in the Greek city of Soluni (now Thessaloniki).
On May 24, the Church performs a festive service in memory of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Brothers Cyril and Methodius. The brothers were Orthodox monks and created the Slavic alphabet in a Greek monastery.
Scientists believe that Slavic writing was created in the 9th century, around 863. The new alphabet was called "Cyrillic" by the name of one of the brothers, Constantine, who, having adopted monasticism, became Cyril. And his elder brother Methodius helped him in the charitable cause of the formation of Slavic peoples.
