Revision as of 04:51, 29 April 2005 by Man vyi (talk | contribs) (cat:)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Cyril and Methodius were two brothers who lived in the 9th century and became the missionaries of Christianity among the Slavic peoples. They invented the alphabet that with small modifications is still used in a number of Slavic languages and known as Cyrillic alphabet. They also translated the Christian texts for Slavs into the language that is now called Church Slavonic and is still used in liturgy by several Eastern Orthodox churches. Both are canonized in Eastern Orthodoxy as "equal to apostles" and were celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church in 1880.
