| In the day May 24, every year we honor Cyril and Methodius for their great achievement. It was really great then in the 9 century and now as well. Creation of the Bulgarian Alphabet, which was used by other Slavic nations, spread then and today half Europe, bring them in the European Civilization. The gratefulness and thankfulness to the both brothers from Solun in our custom and old tradition leads to full eclipse for other personality, which efforts help to establish the alphabet first in Bulgaria and then in the hole East Europe - Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Montenegro, Macedonia. Some Greek historians falsely identify Cyril and Methodius as a Greek nationality, just the way they falsify the history of Macedonia. Even they change their name as Cyril-us to look Greek. Their identity is but Bulgarian, because their mother was Bulgarian. This is the ground to create the Bulgarian alphabet. A Greek man will be unable to do this. |

Who are this personality, which help of the establishment of the Bulgarian
alphabet?
In the first place the great Bulgarian statesman Tsar Boris I (852-889). It is
well known, an alphabet can be enforceded only if political and financial power
of a state stay behind it. We know that two other alphabets are create in
Bulgaria before (from Thrace decent Nikita Remesianski and from Gotten decent
Wulfila), but they do not established, because the Bulgarian state do not support
them. The alphabet at this time was always connected with the church. To be
supplied the churches in Bulgaria with Bulgarian language was necessary 200,000
bibles. The books at this time was produced from pregament (special prepared
ship leader). For 200,000 books are necessary 20,000,000 ship leader. Furthermore
for 10,000 churches are necessary 10,000 priests knowing the new alphabet. Is it
possible Cyril or Methodius or their disciples Clement or Naum to pay for
20,000,000 ship leader and educate 10,000 priests? Of coarse not. Spending and
organizing is this order is only possible by state and statesman with a strong political
will. Tsar Boris I stay behind all this with the power of entire Bulgarian
state. And certain long before 886, when he gave Clement an Naum all power,
money and supporters necessary to do their work of spreading the alphabet
true hole Bulgaria. This contact happened in Macedonia between Cyril, Methodius
and Tsar Boris I in Raven (outskirt of Stip) and was negotiated the establishment
of the Altbulgarian Alphabet. Of the question why they do not continue their
mission in Bulgaria the answer is simple. The Alphabet do not have the
acceptance from Rome and Constantinople. We should not forget at this time the
bible was allowed to be written only in 3 languages - Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
The most important task for Cyril and Methodius was to achieved the acceptance
of Rome. And this can be reached only if they remain Byzantine state and church
missionary. If they remain in Bulgaria they both and Tsar Boris I and the
alphabet without any doubt will be declared as a heretical. Clement and
Naum
are the next we may forget. Do not mislead! The mission of Cyril and Methodius
collapse in Moravia finally in 886. Without Clement and Naum the holy mission
of Cyril and Methodius will die just like this from Nikita Remesianski and
Wulfila. The talented monks where also a super managers. To teach 10,000 monks
and to write 200,000 books require great organizing talent, otherwise the effort
of the Bulgarian State will go for nothing.
We should not forget Tsar Simeon the Great (893-927), who continue the work of his father very successful. He was able to reject the way Svetopolk destroy the the Mission initiated by Rostislav in Moravia and to return the Greek alphabet. Nothing was easier than this. Finally Tsar Peter (927-942) secure 42 peaceful years to strengthen the success of the mission by the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius.
To all of them may their memory live forever and everlasting respect from the Bulgarian nation.
