  • Денеска го празнуваме денот на светите браќа Св. Кирил и Методиј, познати како апостоли на Словените, патрони на Европа и словенски просветители. Солунчаните кои одиграа клучна улога во во описменувањето на Источна Европа, се до Украина и Русија, преку нивните мисионерски потфати и голготи. Нивното создавање и стандардизирање на глаголицата ги постави темелите на кирилицата, подоцна развиена од свети Климент Охридски и свети Наум Охридски, исто така родени под сонцето македонско. Ова писмо стана суштинско во преведувањето на Библијата и другите религиозни текстови, предизвикувајќи ја доминацијата на грчкиот, латинскиот и хебрејскиот јазик во црквата. Како Македонци, наша должност е да го зачуваме нашиот јазик, кој е длабоко испреплетен со аманетот на Св. Кирил и Методиј, обезбедувајќи никој да не може да ни го одземе ова основно право. Today marks the celebration of Sts. Kiril and Metodij, renowned as Equal to the Apostles, Apostles of the Slavs, Patrons of Europe, and Slavonic Enlighteners. They were born in Solun and played a pivotal role in spreading Christianity across Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Russia, through their missionary endeavors. Their creation and standardization of the Glagolitic script laid the foundation for the Cyrillic alphabet, later developed by St. Clement of Ohrid and St. Naum of Ohrid, both from Macedonia. This script became essential in translating the Bible and other religious texts, challenging the dominance of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew in the Church. As Macedonians, it's our duty to preserve our language, which is deeply intertwined with the legacy of Sts. Kiril and Metodij, ensuring that no one can deprive us of this fundamental right.
