Cyril & Methodius – 11^th May and 24^th of May – Bulgarian Alphabet (Public holiday)

In May there are two celebrations relating to the brothers Cyril & Methodius, founders of the Bulgarian Alphabet. 11^th May is their name day, when the brothers themselves are honored for their contribution to civilization. 24^th of May is the Day of Cyrillic Alphabet and it is a National Holiday.

In 855 A.D. the missionary brothers Cyril & Methodius developed the first Bulgarian Alphabet (Glagolic) which was said to more accurately reflect the sounds of the Bulgarian language (the Greek alphabet had been used till then).
