Slavic Writing Day is a holiday celebrated by many peoples of Slavic origin (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Bulgarians, etc.). It is dedicated to the memory of the creators of the famous Cyrillic letter - the Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Methodius and Cyril.
Cyril and Methodius, originally from Byzantium, from the city of Thessaloniki (Solun). Their father Leo was a noble and wealthy officer. Michael (future Methodius) was the oldest of the seven sons, and Constantine (future Cyril) was the youngest. Since Thessaloniki was a bilingual city, the brothers from childhood spoke good not only in Greek, but also in Slavic, in the so-called Solun dialect.
