Cyril and Methodius

To me, these guys are cool (definitely a technical term). They helped bring writing and Scriptures to the Slavs. The alphabet used to write Slavic languages is called Cyrillic because of these guys. They were given the title "Equal to the Apostles" because of their work in bringing the gospel to a massive language group.

Here are some articles to read:
