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). |
