The time of Cyrillo-Methodian mission belongs to the most important periods in the histories of Slavic nations. Even nowadays we can still see the fruits of the Mission. Cyrillo-Methodian values and traditions were thanks to the Benedictine monasteries continuously preserved and kept. St. Andrew-Zorard and St. Benedict belonged to most important Benedictine–eremites who lived in the territory of Great Moravia. These monks adopted Syrio-Palestinian ascetic rules of eremic life, which were mostly practised at Oriental territories, from the brothers Sts. Constantine and Methodius. The rules were brought into life as it is mentioned in the Legend of St. Maurus, a contemporary living bishop of Pécs. Places where the Benedictines lived, namely the Monastery of Saint Hypolit at Zobor hill in Nitra and Skalka near the city of Trenčín, have remained important spiritual centres to this day.

After the expulsion of the disciples of Sts. Cyril and Methodius from the territory of Great Moravia, the Slavonic liturgy also reached the area of the Western Balkans. This area is considered the birthplace of the Church teacher and saint, St. Hieronymus. Over the centuries, a thesis has emerged according to which St. Hieronymus was considered the author of the Slavonic script known as Glagolitic in the Middle Ages, due to the ecclesiastical-political situation and the efforts of the local clergy to preserve the Slavonic liturgy. After several local synods or decisions of popes that were not favorable to the Slavonic liturgy, it was finally approved by Pope Innocent IV in the thirteenth century. This opened the way for the further development of the Slavonic liturgy in the Balkans, specifically in Dalmatia. Although the Slavonic liturgy in this area has survived to the present day, the idea of the authorship of Glagolitic by St. Hieronymus was criticized and refuted in the nineteenth century, but the circumstances of its origin clearly show the seriousness of the situation in which this thesis was born.

The Cyril and Methodius mission, that took place on the territory of Great Moravia, was not only of political but also of ecclesiastical significance, especially because of the work done by the Thessalonian brothers in the field of language and liturgy. Their translations of liturgical books into Old Slavonic brought with them important milestones that played a significant role in later centuries. In the period of recatholization, the Archbishop of Esztergom, Peter Pázmaň, was instrumental in the publication of the Esztergom Ritual, which brought with it a language that was understandable to the people and to the celebration of the liturgy, and this was preserved in later editions, even down to the publication of the Rituale Slovacchiæ. The publication of the Slovak Catholic hymnal Cantus Catholici was also an important act of encouragement to the Slovak people in the religious and national spheres, and these facts touch on an environment that goes beyond the ecclesiastical sphere, in the context of society and culture as a whole.
