Email this article Contemporary Visualizations of the Heritage of the Saints Cyril and Methodius in the Slavic Domain
Abstract
The paper focuses on the contemporary visualizations of the brother saints Cyril and Methodius and their heritage in the countries that cultivate their cultural legacy. The presentation of the Slavic Apostles has its own tradition in painting, icons and monuments, which is shown in a historical context in some of the Slavonic countries belonging to both the Western and the Orthodox Church tradition. It points out a special role in the spread of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition through art in Bulgaria. The country, thanks to the cult of the Thessalonica Brothers in the Middle Ages, has developed their statures as Bulgarian Apostles, and present-day Bulgaria is in a position of depositary of their heritage. Contemporary Bulgarians express the memory of Cyril and Methodius through monuments of the Cyrillic alphabet, a tendency that extends beyond the Slavic world. Consequently, it emphasizes the symbolic importance of the Slavic alphabet.
