Saint Methodius
815–885
Brother and companion of Cyril in the Slavic mission.
Methodius continued the mission in Great Moravia and Pannonia after Cyril’s death. Their disciples found refuge in Bulgaria and spread literacy.
Methodius stands for persistence — the alphabet’s work does not end in one year, but across generations of teachers.
