On 14 February, Bulgaria marks the assumption of St. Cyril. Together with his brother Methodius, he created in the 9th century the first Slavic alphabet called Glagolitic. On this occasion, the Bulgarian National Radio is running an exhibition by artist Pavlin Petrov entitled The Glagolitic Alphabet and Proto-Bulgarian Runes. The event commemorates Sts. Cyril and Methodius, patrons of Europe, and their contribution to education and the spread of Christianity among Slavic peoples.
The explanatory note under one of the works reads: “The name of the Glagolitic alphabet, also known as Glagolitsa, stems from the word ‘glagolati’, which means ‘to speak’. In other words, these are the signs that speak. The first letter “Aza”, which stands for the pronoun “I”, looks like the Christian cross. According to researchers, the Glagolitic alphabet is a Christian script that comes directly from God.
