CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sts. Cyril and Methodius |
 | | In 870 King Louis and the German bishops summoned Methodius to a synod at Ratisbon. |
 | | Methodius went to Constantinople about this time, and with the assistance of several priests, he completed the translation of the Holy Scriptures, with the exception of the Books of Machabees. |
 | | Formerly the feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius was celebrated in Bohemia and Moravia on 9 March; but Pius IX changed the date to 5 July. |
