The Thessalonian brothers are known among Slovak and Slavonic people as translators of the Scriptures into a language comprehensible to the people in the Great Moravian Empire and to other Slavs. Their evangelical mission and the creation of a language of worship has a Christian, cultural-emancipatory, ethno-identifying and at the same time ethno-differentiating character in the connection with Slavs as well as in relation to nations from other language groups or families. Slovakia adequately respects these personalities and their merits: St Cyril and Methodius Day celebrated on 5th July is dedicated to them, and this day is also the Day of Foreign Slovaks. These missionaries are thus in the centre of a contextual circle: Slavs - Slovaks in Slovakia and abroad - Cyril and Methodius – ethno-cultural identity. In researching individual components of cultural potential of the Lowland Slovaks, in the last three decades we have found much evidence to show how these personalities became part of the cultural of the Lowland Slovaks: as part of the church history, Christian theory and cultural history; memorial days in Christian calendars; providing the names for parishes and churches; the object of school teaching; Slavic and Slovak reciprocity; specific ways of commemorating the Thessalonian brothers through the visual arts, institutional celebrations and forgiveness as specific ecclesiastical, social and cultural events at the level of local and Christian communities and institutions; roads in the footsteps of Cyril and Methodius leading to Slovakia and to Nitra and deepening the companionship with the mother nation. The aim of the paper is to point out the interdisciplinary contexts of the study of their reflections in the Slovaks living in Lowland.

The main goal of this contribution is to point out a few problematic spheres, where the generally accepted not quite correspond to the real situation. We emphasize that the path to the general knowledge of the culture of Slovaks living in Low Land is through the realization of research in widest context of theory in as many localities as it is possible. We present a view of the seven problematic issues, which in the context of the current research of Slovaks living in Low Land can be considered as relevant. First, there is the problem of the meaning of terms ethnic enclave and ethnic diaspora. Secondly, the consideration of degree of acculturation and the transfer of the meaning from term "language island" to term "cultural island". Thirdly, we are considering terms of ethno-cultural and ethno-confessional aspects of identity. The fourth problematic sphere is relation between local and ethnic identity. The fifth problem is the urban and rural environment and their contexts affecting acculturation in the minority sector. The sixth circuit is relation between ethnic identity and civic identity. Seventh problem is the minority policy in the European Union, its relative instability and undeniable impact on the acculturation of minorities.
