  Istria on the Internet - Linguistics - Glagolitic - Saints Cyril & Methodius
Cyril and Methodius were brothers, born into a senatorial family, who both rose to high positions in the world--Methodius became governor of a colony in the Slav province of Opsikion; Cyril, a leading philosopher at the University of Constantinople.
Methodius was consecrated bishop and struggled on alone, often in dangerously hostile lands.
Methodius is regarded as a pioneer in the use of the vernacular in the liturgy and as a patron of ecumenism (Attwater, Benedictines, Bentley, Delaney, Farmer, Schamoni, Walsh, White).

In 878, Methodius was summoned to Rome to defend a second time the use of the vernacular in the church.
