| About St. Cyril and Methodius Day |
| In Slovakia it is celebrated on July 5 as “St. Cyril and Methodius Day”. St Cyril and St Methodius were brothers born in Thessalonica who went to Constantinople after being ordained priests. St Cyril and St Methodius are honoured for evangelising the Slavs, organising the Slavic church, and pioneering the celebration of liturgy in the vernacular. For these reasons, in 1980 Pope John Paul II named them, together with St Benedict, patron saints of all Europe. |
