Saint Cyril
(Greek: , Church Slavonic: (827 - February 14, 869) was a Greek (i.e. Byzantine) monk, scholar, theologian, and linguist. He is best known today for his work in Christianising the Slavs and, with his brother Saint Methodius, is credited with devising the Glagolithic and rarely also with devising the Cyrillic alphabet. He was known during his life as Constantine; the name Cyril seems to have been given to him only shortly before his death, if not after.
Saint Methodius
(Greek: ; Church Slavonic ) (b. Thessaloniki, Byzantine Empire, 826; d. in Great Moravia, April 6, 885) was a Greek (i.e. Byzantine) scholar, archbishop of Great Moravia, and the main translator of the Bible into Old Church Slavonic using the Glagolitic alphabet created by his brother and collaborator Saint Cyril.
