Saints Cyril and Methodius are known as the "teachers of the Slavs". They were 9th century missionaries who brought the gospel to the Slavic peoples (who are the ancestor's of today's Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Russians, etc). Saint Cyril in particular is known as the inventor of the Cyrilic alphabet, which is still in use today in many Slavic countries (and even some Central Asian ones like Kazakhstan and Tajikistan). Saints Cyril and Methodius translated the Bible and Christian liturgy to the Slavic language using Cyril's alphabet, and are celebrated for upholding the freedom of people to worship in their mother tongue. They are among the most celebrated saints in Eastern Europe, and their feast day is a public holiday in several Slavic nations today.
