Cyril and Methodius Day, round one

SAINTS' DAY: Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates Saints Cyril and Methodius (FOCUS News Agency). There is much celebrating in the Eastern Orthodox Churches of these two saints and their invention of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, with key dates ranging from February to July. Technically Saints Cyril and Methodius Day is on 24 May in the Gregorian Calendar, but that translates to 11 May in the Julian calendar, and so it was also celebrated yesterday. Background on the day and why it matters to PaleoJudaica (hint: Slavonic Old Testament Pseudepigrapha) is here.
