The Catholic Church in Germany's Eastern Europe aid organization "Renovabis" writes in a 2021 article entitled "Breathing with Both Lungs": "Cyril and Methodius – for 40 years now, these two brothers have been patron saints of Europe, appointed by Pope John Paul II in 1980. The Pope's famous justification at the time: Christian Europe must 'breathe with both lungs,' the Roman-Latin and the Slavic-Byzantine. Cyril and Methodius are often called 'Apostles to the Slavs' – but these two Greek missionaries were actually much more than that: They created connections between two cultural worlds on the same continent, between Western and Eastern Europe, between the Eastern and Western traditions of the Church – and were thus bridge-builders of their time." And they brought a major innovation to the Church: they ensured that people could celebrate the liturgy in a language they understood – not Latin, not Greek or Hebrew, but in their everyday language, the Slavic language. On February 14, the anniversary of Cyril's death in 869, the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Churches all commemorate the two saints.

Impressively clean and clear.

Highly recommended to visit.
