Born in Thessaloniki, Sveti Kiril and his brother Metodius engaged themselves in the christianisation of the Slaves in the 9th century. With this purpose they devised the Glagolithic alphabet, based on Greek letters, which is the base of Cyrillic alphabet used in Orthodox Slavonic countries. That is maybe why Latin alphabet in Bulgaria doesn't look too healthy (church of Sveti Alexnder Nevski). On top, a scultpure of both saints in front of the National Library in central Sofia.
