Conversion of the Slavs

The Conversion of the Slavs refers to the historical process during the 9th to 11th centuries when various Slavic people adopted Christianity. This was significantly influenced by missionaries, such as Saints Cyril and Methodius, who created the Glagolitic alphabet and translated the Bible into Slavic languages. This cultural shift helped unify the diverse Slavic tribes and established stronger political connections with Christian kingdoms. The conversion played a crucial role in shaping Slavic identity, facilitating literacy, and integrating them into the broader European culture, impacting their social, political, and spiritual life for centuries.
