    Default Macedonia to celebrate Saints Cyril and Methodius with Czechia and Slovakia

    https://macedoniatimes.news/macedoni...ril-methodius/

    In 2021 Macedonia together with Czechia and Slovakia is going to be part of a celebration of the lives and cultural heritage of the Saints Cyril and Methodius in an event that is supported by the EU regional development program.

    The event called The Cultural Route of Saints Cyril and Methodius was started in Slovakia in 2011 to mark the significance of the brother-saints who were born in Macedonia during the time of the Byzantine Empire.

    The consecrated bothers traveled from Macedonia to Moravia, coinciding with today’s Czechia and Slovakia, on a mission to spread Christianity and literacy to this part of the Slavic-speaking world. The event entrails cultural tours, hiking and visits of monasteries and monuments dedicated to Cyril and Methodius.

    Notable is Bulgaria’s absence from the event. Bulgaria celebrates the saints as crucial figures in its ethnonational historiography, however it has also entered a row with Slovakia.

    In December 2020, Bulgaria’s Parliament updated the naming of the Saints Cyril and Methodius national holiday, inaccurately attributing them with creating the “Bulgarian” alphabet.

    Bulgaria has been attempting to claim the saints as Bulgarians, however, other Slavic speaking nations have vocally opposed this.

    The Macedonian Government’s press service noted that Macedonia’s honorary inclusion is to commemorate 30 years since the founding of the modern Macedonian state.

    Macedonian PM Zoran Zaev rejoiced at the invitation and stated that the three countries can demonstrate together that the work of the Slavic enlighteners Cyril and Methodius represents a common value that needs to be honored by all Slavic nations for its contribution to the spiritual and cultural history of Europe.

    Recently Slovakia and the Czech Republic expressed their support for Macedonia’s EU progress during a trying period that shows the country’s vulnerability to the adversarial policies of some neighboring states.

    Bulgaria's absence from the event is more credited to the fact that our government has spoken many times the nation will not be affiliated with any events that are related to attempts to usurp Bulgarian history, which this clearly is.

    Cyril and Methodius were in fact NOT Bulgarians, yet they created the Cyrilic alphabet HERE and FOR Bulgarians under the commission of Simeon the Great of the First Bulgarian Empire, and not as a pan-Slavic alphabet. The fact that it became such was pure coincidence. And other Slavs trying to usurp it will not be tolerated.

    Very nice celebration. Macedonia is cradle of Slavic literacy after all and that will never be forgotten up: Bulgaria should be there though, it's your common history.

    Cyrillic alphabet was created for all Orthodox Slavs, not only for Bulgarians.

    No it was not. Thats exactly the kind of delusions our government protests against.

    The original Glagolic script as I mentioned in the first post was commissioned by Simeon the Great as a way of unifying the people of Bulgaria (and only Bulgaria) by language under the new Orthodox faith his father Boris the First had converted the empire to before his rule - Boris united the empire by faith, and Simeon wanted to unite the empire by language and writing, and he succeeded.

    The fact that other Slavic populations outside of the empire also adopted the script and used it as a basis for their own written language is arbitrary information, it does not make the Cyrillic script meant to be a Pan-Slavic alphabet, as it never was.

    They created the Glagolitic alphabet.

    Tsar Simeon wasn't even born when Glagoltic was invented

    You posted Bulgarian propaganda, which is rejected by science

    Glagolitic was created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessaloniki. He and his brother, Saint Methodius, were sent by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III in 863 to Great Moravia to spread Christianity among the West Slavs in the area. The brothers decided to translate liturgical books into the contemporary Slavic language understandable to the general population (now known as Old Church Slavonic). As the words of that language could not be easily written by using either the Greek or Latin alphabets, Cyril decided to invent a new script, Glagolitic, which he based on the local dialect of the Slavic tribes from the Byzantine theme of Thessalonica.

    Cyrilic script was created by Clement of Ohrid, disciple of Cyrril and Methodius.

    The fact it was created in Ohrid, but not in Belgrade or Kiev, is because is closest to Greeks.
    Cyrilic alphabet is based on Greek alphabet adapted for Slavic languages and Slavic population.

    But creating in Ohrid it doesnt mean it is more North Macedonian (or Bulgarian because that was part of Bulgaria then) than it is Serbian, Ukrainian or Russian.

    In fact, there are letters in Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, that exist only here: Љ, Њ, Ћ, Ђ, Џ.
    And letter J borrowed from Latin.

    These letters do not exist in Bulgarian, so you can not call it Bulgarian in any sence.
