Collection: 📚 St. Methodius

St. Methodius, along with his brother St. Cyril, was a 9th-century missionary known for bringing Christianity to the Slavic peoples. Born in Thessalonica, he and Cyril were both highly educated and deeply devoted to spreading the faith. Together, they created the Glagolitic alphabet—the basis for the Cyrillic script—so the Scriptures and liturgy could be translated into the Slavic language. This made the Word of God accessible to the people in their own tongue, strengthening the Church’s presence in Eastern Europe. St. Methodius later became a bishop and continued his missionary work despite facing opposition. He is remembered for his wisdom, perseverance, and dedication to unity.

Lived: c. 815 – 885 | Feast Day: February 14 (with St. Cyril) | Canonized: Pre-Congregation
