Cyril and Method were two Greek missionary brothers, who arrived in Great Moravia on the request of prince Rastislav, in 863.Cyril, known also under the name of Konstantin, invented a slav writing 'hlaholica' and translated evangelic readings and other books of worship for the people. Method was a great painter, and a lot of his paintings were with biblical motives.
Both of the brothers were teachers of the gospel, spreading God's word all around the country. In 869 both of the brothers were appointed bishops by the Pope Hadrian II.
Shortly after being made bishop, Cyril died. Method was appointed archbishop and returned to Great Moravia, where he became the head of Slovak Christianity, until he died in 885.
