Cyril and Methodius, the Apostles of the Slavs, for many centuries have been in the interest of the whole Christian<br />world.<br />This article is an attempt of presenting the vital connection between Christian faith, liturgical cult, and culture on the<br />basis of the Byzantine mission addressed to the Slavs, which was led in the second half of 9th century.<br />Starting from the comparison of the missionary methods used by the Christian East and West in the Middle Ages,<br />then we will turn our attention to Sts. Cyril’s and Methodius’ unique contribution to the proclamation of Christ among<br />the Slavs. In this missionary work, of the great importance was the creation of a new alphabet, and the use of the Slavic<br />language in the proclamation of the Good News, as well as translations of the Bible and liturgical books into Slavonic. The<br />rootedness in the Byzantine liturgical tradition, and drawing from the treasury of the Eastern Roman Empire contributed in<br />a creative and very original way to the formation of the native Slavic culture. In the final part of article there is posed the<br />problem of the effective proclamation of the Good News in the contemporary world in relation to the Cyrillo-Methodian<br />model of mission. ER -
