On May 11, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honours the memory of the Holy Equal-to-the Apostles and Co-Patrons of Europe Sts. Cyril and Methodius, creators of the original Bulgarian alphabet - the Glagolitic alphabet known in Bulgarian as Glagolitsa.
The first written notices of the tribute to the Thessalonian brothers Cyril and Methodius on May 11 in Bulgarian National Revival period literature are found in Neofit Rilski's 1852 "Christomatija slavyanskogo yazaka" (Collectanea of the Slavic language).
