  Church Slavonic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, this language is derived from the Old Church Slavonic language by adapting pronunciation and orthography and replacing some old and obscure words and expressions by their vernacular counterparts (for example from the Old Russian language).
Although as late as the 1760's Lomonosov argued that Church Slavonic was the so-called "high style" of Russian, within Russia itself this point of view largely vanished in the course of the nineteenth century.
Church Slavonic (in various modifications) was also used as a liturgical and literary language in other Orthodox countries — Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and (former Yugoslav) Republic of Macedonia — until it was replaced by national languages (but the liturgical use may continue).

 The Slavonic Abacus - Association of Teachers of Mathematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Slavonic abacus can be used to develop helpful images of number, partitioning, addition, complementation, and multiplication.
The Slavonic abacus, see Figure 2, described by Grauberg in her book Elementary Mathematics and Language Difficulties, provides an invaluable tool to enable pupils to 'see' numbers and number bonds to ten, and then to a hundred.
Rather, they should be helped to identify the sixtieth bead, and then the eighth bead in the next row, by looking at the pattern of beads on the abacus, and recognising that 'sixty' is 'five plus one' rows, and 'eight' is 'five plus three' beads.

 Western Slavonic Inscriptions by Sergei V. Rjabchikov - English
This idea is preserved in the Slavonic pagan cult of dedy associated with the dead (Ivanov, Toporov 1991) and in the name of the Russian pagan god Stribog 'The old god' (Belyakova 1995: 90-1).
Moreover, the term strelets (associated with Russian strela 'arrow') may be compared with the name Stribog, too; and according to the pagan beliefs, the sun was born in the Sagittarius constellation (Russian sozvezdie Strel'tsa) during the winter solstice.
Russian rev 'howl', tayat' 'to thaw', taly 'thawed') is May; it corresponds to the names of the Scythian goddess Argimpasa and of the Iranian and Armenian goddess Ardvi Sura Anahita.

Although Church Slavonic is sometimes called "Old Church Slavonic," "Old Slavonic," or "Old Church Slavic," it has been revised several times throughout its history, most recently in the 18th century under the Empress Elizabeth.
The term "Old Church Slavonic" properly belongs to the form of the language that was used in the 9th-12th centuries and not to the modern form of Church Slavonic that is currently used in the Russian Orthodox Church.
