See also:METHODIUS (c. 825-885) , the apostle of the Slays, was a native of Thessalonica, probably by See also:nationality a Graecized Slay. His See also:father's name was See also:Leo, and his See also:family was socially distinguished; Methodius himself had already attained high See also:official See also:rank in the See also:government of See also:Macedonia before he determined to become a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

His younger See also:brother See also:Constantine (better known as See also:Cyril, the name he adopted at See also:Rome shortly before his See also:death) was. a friend of See also:Photius, and had earned the surname "the Philosopher " in See also:Constantinople before he withdrew to monastic See also:life. Constantine about 86o had been sent by the See also:emperor See also:Michael III. to the See also:Khazars, a Tatar See also:people living See also:north-See also:east of the See also:Black See also:Sea, in response to their See also:request for a See also:Christian teacher, but had not remained See also:long among them; after his return to within the limits of the See also:empire, his brother and he worked among the Bulgarians of See also:Thrace and See also:Moesia, baptizing their See also:- KING

time that they should be See also:independent of the Germans, the two See also:brothers went to his See also:capital (its site is unknown), and, besides establishing a See also:seminary for the See also:education of priests, successfully occupied themselves in See also:preaching in the See also:vernacular and in diffusing their See also:translations of Scripture lessons and liturgical offices. Some conflict with the See also:German priests, who used the Latin See also:liturgy, led to their visiting See also:Pope See also:Nicholas I., who had just been engaged in his still extant See also:correspondence with the newly converted Bulgarian king; his death (in 867) occurred before their arrival, but they were kindly received by his successor See also:Hadrian II. Constantine died in Rome (in 869), but Methodius, after satisfying the pope of his orthodoxy and obedience, went back to his labours in " Moravia " as See also:archbishop of Syrmia (Sirmium) in See also:Pannonia. His See also:province appears to have been, roughly speaking, co-extensive with the basins of the Raab, See also:Drave and See also:Save, and thus to have included parts of what had previously belonged to the provinces of See also:Salzburg and See also:Passau. In 87r complaints on this See also:account were made at Rome, nominally on behalf of the archbishop of Salzburg, but really in the interests of the German king and his Germanizing ally Swatopluk, Rastislav's successor; they were not, however, immediately successful. In 879, however, Methodius was again summoned to Rome by Pope See also:John VIII., after having declined to give up the practice of celebrating See also:mass in the See also:Slavonic See also:tongue; but, owing to the See also:peculiar delicacy of the relations of Rome with Constantinople, and with the See also:young See also:- CHURCH

church of See also:Bulgaria, the pope, contrary to all expectation, ultimately decided in favour of a Slavonic liturgy, and sent Methodius (88o) back to his See also:diocese with a See also:suffragan See also:bishop of Neitra, and with a See also:letter of recommendation to Swatopluk. This suffragan, a German named Wiching, unfortunately proved the See also:reverse of helpful to his See also:metropolitan, and through his agency, especially after the death of John VIII. in 882, the closing years of the life of Methodius were embittered by continual ecclesiastical disputes, in the course of which he is said to have laid Swatopluk and his supporters under the See also:ban, and the See also:realm under See also:interdict. The most trustworthy tradition says that Methodius died at Hardisch on the See also:March, on the 6th of See also:April 885. He was buried at Welehrad (probably Stuhlweissenburg).
The See also:Greek Church commemorates St Cyril on See also:February 14 and St Methodius on May 11; in the See also:Roman Church both are commemorated on March 9. Their See also:canonization (by. Leo XIII. in 1881) is noteworthy, in view of the fact that See also:- GREGORY

Gregory VII. and several other popes condemned them as Arians. After the death of Methodius much of his See also:work was undone; his successor Gosrad, a Slav, was expelled, with all the Slav priests, and the Latin See also:language and liturgy supplanted the vernacular. On the 5th of See also:July 1863 a millennial celebration of the two brother apostles was held by the people of Bohemia and Moravia.
