I know the spotlight is on St. Valentine today, but don't forget Sts. Cyril and Methodius! It's their feast day today. The Cyrillic alphabet, used in Russian and other languages was invented by Slavic Macedonian brothers! Imagine INVENTING an alphabet and written language. Great for one's resume!
But far more important than creating a new alphabet, is that these brothers were instrumental in the conversion of the Slavic people!
Let's remember these two great saints today.
Prayer to Sts Cyril and Methodius (found on Catholic.org):
Saints Cyril and Methodius, watch over all missionaries but especially those in Slavic countries. Help those that are in danger in the troubled areas. Watch over the people you dedicated your lives to. Amen.
