Education, Culture and Slavic Writing Festival

origin

Kirill and Metodi are regarded as sages by Bulgarian people because of their unique contributions to Bulgarian culture. At the end of the ninth century, people began to commemorate them. The commemorative activities at that time had a strong religious color. /kloc-in the 20th century, Bulgarian religious circles commemorated them with February 14-the anniversary of kirill's death and April 6th-the anniversary of Medodi's death. Later, the anniversary was changed to May 24th. During the period of Bulgarian national rejuvenation from 65438 to 0857, the Bulgarian people liberated this festival from the shackles of religious ceremonies and made it a national education and Slavic writing festival in Bulgaria.

During the 500-year-long alien rule of the Ottoman Empire and the white terror of domestic fascism, Bulgarian people's activities to commemorate this festival never stopped.

Kirill (827-869 AD) and Mitodi (8 15-885 AD) were born in Thessaloniki, one of the largest cities in the Byzantine Empire at that time, and their ancestors were Slavs. My brother Metodi held an important political position in Byzantium for many years, and later became a monk. My brother kirill was tireless and versatile when he was a teenager. He received a good education in the famous Magnola School in Constantinople (now Istanbul), and later became a monk in Sophia Church and managed books. He was also entrusted with important political and ecclesiastical missions and visited Baghdad and southern Russia. After years of exploration, around the middle of the 9th century, kirill brothers completed a set of Slavic alphabet based on Greek alphabet. They also translated a large number of works into Slavic and trained more than 200 students.

Later, some Slavs created their own languages according to the guslav alphabet, such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian. Another part of Slavic language uses Latin letters, such as Polish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Slovenian and Luzhi.
