Happy Feast of Sts. Cyril and Methodius!

These two Greek brothers traveled to the Slavic nations in the 9th century and created an alphabet (Cyrillic) so that the people could read Scripture and understand the liturgy in their own language. St Methodius translated the bible into the new cyrillic alphabet in less than one year!
These guys are also special to me as my son is working in Moldova in the Peace Corp and needed to learn Russian. I asked them to intercede for him knowing they would have a bit of a handle on the language they wrote! He actually has learned to speak it enough to get around and teach English to his students. God has answered the prayers of his saints. Thank you Lord, and St Cyril and Methodius too!
