Today is Culture and Literacy Day, a public holiday in Bulgaria. It is also known as ‘Bulgarian Education and Culture, and Slavonic Literature Day’ or ‘Alphabet Day’ and is Saints Methodius and Cyril Day and is celebrated following the Orthodox calendar on May 24th. Saints Cyril and Methodius were two Byzantine brothers born in Thessalonica in the 9th century. Part of a prominent Christian family, their father was Greek and their mother was Bulgarian.
They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet. At the request of the Moravian prince Rastislav, they began to transcribe religious books from Greek into Old Bulgarian.
Their alphabet is seen as the precursor to Cyrillic, which was named after Cyril. Today most of the Slavic countries, including Russia, still use an extension of that alphabet.
