Saints Cyril and Methodius Festival

The Saints Cyril and Methodius Festival celebrates the contributions of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Christian missionaries and linguists of the 9th century, who invented the Glagolitic alphabet and helped develop the Cyrillic script. Their work promoted literacy, cultural identity, and the spread of Christianity among Slavic peoples. The festival, often held in countries like Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Russia, features religious ceremonies, cultural events, music, and lectures. It honors their legacy of bridging language and faith, fostering cultural pride, and advancing education within the Slavic community.
