St. Methodius

St. Methodius was a 9th-century Christian missionary and one of the two Byzantine brothers, along with St. Cyril, known for their work in spreading Christianity and literacy among the Slavic peoples. They developed the Glagolitic alphabet, the first written system for Slavic languages, facilitating the translation of the Bible and religious texts. Methodius served as a bishop and focused on promoting Christianity in Moravia. Revered as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches, his contributions significantly impacted Slavic culture and the development of Christian practices in the region.
