The legacy of Cyril and Methodius. Russia remains the defender of Slavic culture
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Mikhail Moshkin [REGNUM] On May 24, Russia, Bulgaria and Transnistria celebrate the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. On the same day, North Macedonia celebrates the Day of Saints Cyril and Methodius. In all cases - among us, and among the Bulgarians, and among the Macedonians, and in the unrecognized republic on the Dniester - the triumph is associated with the names of the monastic brothers who, almost 1200 years ago, created the first Slavic alphabet and the Church Slavonic language. On July 5, missionary brothers are remembered in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The choice of dates is related to church tradition. Once upon a time, in Orthodox churches, the day of remembrance of the “holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Slovenian teachers” fell on May 24 (11th according to the old style). And Catholics commemorated the same saints on July 5th. When Cyril and Methodius set out on educational journeys, church schism had not yet divided the Slavic world. Posted by: badanov 2024-05-24 |
