The article analyzes the issues of using the linguistic corpus to research Cyril’s and Methodius’s cultural heritage and Church Slavonic texts: the text is considered as the main point for analyzing the history of the Church Slavonic language. The author names topical issues for the research of the Church Slavonic language in the area of Slavia Ortodoxa, and demonstrates the possibilities of using corpus linguistics and its methods in the research of ancient and modern Church Slavonic texts. The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological possibility of analyzing linguistic phenomena (based on the text-centric principle) with the methods of corpus language research. The author analyzes the explanatory possibilities of modern text-oriented corpus linguistics and describes the dynamics of the text-centric approach in modern linguistic developments. The methodological connection of linguistics of Church Slavonic discourse with the corpus method of its research is explained.

Calendar for the Greek Catholic Slovaks for 1941 was the first publication of its kind intended for the Greek Catholic Slovaks. With its content and involvement of state authorities in the distribution among the faithful, it pointed out the close cooperation of the representatives of the Slovak State regime and the emerging leadership of the Greek Catholic Slovaks in the association with an ideological reference to the legacy of Cyril and Methodius. However, they interpreted it with the emphasis on the requirement to use the Slovak language in religious life and the appropriate share of Slovaks in the leadership of the Greek Catholic Church. The study also analyses the publication in the context of the government’s political goals. The support of the Greek Catholic Slovaks was part of a broader plan the aim of which was to reduce the activities of the unwanted Bishop Pavel Gojdič, the leadership of the Greek Catholic Church and their influence, and ultimately wanted to find the solution to the Ruthenian issue in Slovakia.

In the new Czechoslovakia, the governmental regime did not show much interest in the cult of St. Cyril and Methodius at the beginning. In Slovakia, the veneration of St. Cyril and Methodius was not fully manifested until after 1920, after the consecration of the first Catholic bishops from Slovakia, who were also active there. Among them was the Bishop of Nitra, Mons. K. Kmeťko (1920–1948). In the very first year of his episcopate, he took care of the liturgical celebration of the feast of St. Cyril and Methodius in the diocese to the highest level of liturgical celebration: he highly recommended the Apostolate of Sts. Cyril and Methodius to be introduced in the parishes. The idea of St. Cyril and Methodius also wound its way through the administration of the diocese under Apostolic Administrator E. Nécsey (1948-1968), J. Pásztor (1973–1988) and J. Ch. Korec (1990–2005).

The thesis was put forward that the plane for integrating research could be ‚aspect hagiology‘, covering the area of research on saints and sanctity and synthesizing interdisciplinary research. The aim of this reflection is to develop a contribution to further research on formulating a paradigm of innovation in the humanities and theological sciences. The article is divided into two parts. The first describes the stages and achievements of hagiological research, presenting the concept of ‚aspect hagiology‘. The second part presents a platform for integrating innovation-oriented research. The explanations were based on the hagiological profile of the Brothers Cyril and Methodius and the theological category of Logos. It has been shown that the integration of linguistics with theology, according to the concept of aspectual hagiology, involves correlating research on the issue of the Divine Logos.

The primary objective of this study is to present, interpret, and apply the findings of a quantitative study focused on the perception of Cyril and Methodius’ significance among Slovaks living abroad. This topic holds considerable potential for examining cultural identity and national consciousness within diasporic communities. The study provides valuable insights into how historical figures such as Saints Cyril and Methodius are perceived and how their legacy resonates among Slovaks living outside their homeland. The findings revealed notable gender differences in the perception of Cyril and Methodius. Moreover, the results indicated significant generational disparities among foreign Slovaks, with older generations demonstrating a stronger connection to religious traditions. The study also highlighted regional differences, as respondents from rural areas with fewer than 1,000 residents exhibited distinct perspectives compared to those residing in large cities. The discussion section contextualizes these findings within broader interdisciplinary frameworks, emphasizing the practical implications of the acquired knowledge. The study seeks to offer concrete recommendations for strengthening connections to national heritage, particularly among foreign Slovaks. It also highlights the potential divergence in perceptions of Cyril and Methodius between Slovaks abroad and those residing in Slovakia.

The feast of Ss. Cyril and Methodius belongs to the well-regarded religious and national holidays. The apostles of the Slavs initiated various forms of cultural life, closely connected with that of the church. The legends appearing after the death of Cyril and Methodius testify to a canonized esteem which did not officially exist after the fall of Great Moravia, but found favourable conditions in Bulgaria and the Czech lands. The Cyril-Methodius veneration was restored in Bohemia and Moravia in the 14th century and the first medieval prayers to them were created. The article discusses how the Liturgy of Hours in honour of Ss. Cyril and Methodius has undergone several stages of development until its modern version has been formed.

Reflecting on the Great-Moravian and Cyril-Methodius traditions in Slovak literature is proved by a number of various comments related to the particular period of time occurring in the works of the earlier provenance. The detailed registration of them is important, however, literary and historical research should also be carried out into writers´ strategies of using such information – the case of Bohuslav Tablic shows that incorporating the information in his reflections on literary history was influenced by certain factors which need to be closely examined.

The late 50s and early 60s of the 20th century were influential years for the Catholic Slovak diaspora in Rome, characterized by intensive preparations for the historic 1100th anniversary of Saints Cyril and Methodius arrival in Great Moravia. This commemoration served as a powerful catalyst, mobilizing efforts across three primary areas: the jubilee pilgrimage in 1963, editorial initiatives, and ultimately, the decision to establish the Slovak Institute of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Rome. The most significant events were the jubilee celebrations in 1963, featuring numerous gatherings, particularly the May festivities and the Slovak national pilgrimage in Rome in September. Following these celebrations, several important documents remained for Slovaks, but most notably, the primary outcome was the Slovak Institute of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the most successful initiative of a Slovak generation abroad, rooted in the genuine Cyrillo-Methodian tradition of the Slovak Catholic diaspora.

The author of this study presents the since unknown theme in the Slovakian historiography about the celebration of the 1100th Anniversary from the death of Saint Cyril in 1969 on the Spišʼs Diocese. This celebration was preceded by Pope Paul VI ś publication of the apostolic letter Antiquae nobilitatis, which he issued on February 13, 1969. This act of the Pope was a consolation for Catholics in Czechoslovakia and was an invitation to a pilgrimage of the Catholics to Rome on February 14, 1969, which, at the initiative of the Pope, had never been seen in the history of the Slavs since the famous Slavic pilgrimage in 1881 during the pontificate of Leo XIII. The impetus for the Cyril Methodist celebrations in the Spiš Diocese was the Liturgy of the Word, celebrated in the Slovak Institute of St. Cyril and Methodius in Rome. This was the impetus for the creation of the publication Oslavujme hviezdy jasné, distributed before the pilgrimage of the relic of St. Cyril in Spiš Diocese. The pilgrimage of the relic of St. Cyril on the territory of the Diocese of Spiš was held from June 1, 1969 to February 14, 1970. The study also discusses the course of historical research of the relic of St. Cyril in Spišské Podhradie.

In the second half of the 19th century, the Apostolate of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Under the Protection of Blessed Virgin Mary with headquarters in the Moravian Velehrad was one of the most important institutions that encouraged the development of the cultural heritage of the Thessaloniki Brothers and Christian and European cultural values within the framework of its missionary, cultural and educational goals. It initially developed mainly in the Moravian dioceses, but its activity soon spread to Slovakia and to the emigrant circles in America. The Association organized regular pilgrimages to Velehrad. It also supported missionary activities, for example in the Balkans or in the Russian Empire and started publishing an eponymous magazine in 1910. The authors of this paper focused not only on the analysis of contemporary press and literature, but also on archival research with an emphasis on the Apostolate’s literary fund, which can be accessed in the Regional Archives of Opava (Branch Olomouc). The documentary evidence is also based on recent expert literature. This paper also deals with the broader contexts of the Association's establishment, relevant political contexts, the Association’s statutes and their practical implementation, i.e. the activities at home and abroad, organizational issues, publication activities, the arrival of the Society of Jesus in Velehrad, the unionist congresses, and the most important personalities and supporters. The available options in researching the Association's activities allow us to closely inspect the forms and content of the propagation of Cyrillo-Methodian ideas, the wider role of the Church, or the Slovak-Czech-Slavic interactions and/or relations with the representatives of other non-Slavic nations.

Andrej Hlinka (1864–1938), a Roman Catholic priest, as a prominent personality of the Slovak political and religious life, identified himself with the Cyril and Methodius reverence and tradition. He considered it an important element of the Slovak and Slavic religious and national identity. He showed his reverence for Cyril and Methodius by participating in pilgrimages and congresses held in the Moravian town Velehrad. Hlinka spread the Cyril and Methodius cult despite the opposition of the Hungarian church hierarchy. After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1919, he organized the central Cyril and Methodius festivities in Slovakia. He considered the Cyril and Methodius cult to be the orthodox cult which, in union with the Catholic Church, could overcome the onslaught of secularism and sects.

The aim of the research study is to point out the significance of Cyril and Methodius in the geographical location of the Lithoměřice diocese in the 21st century. Through research, we tried to get an idea of the perception of terms such as the new evangelization, pastoral care, or the importance and priority categorization of Cyril and Methodius among the current residents of the region. The research group consisted of 563 respondents – 37% women (N = 208) and 63% men (N = 355). The age distribution of the research participants was varied and included in several age groups without age restrictions. Regarding the religious structure, 58% (N = 328) of the participants were unaffiliated, 38% (N = 213) claimed to be Christian and 1% (N = 5) Jewish, another religion was defined by 3% (N = 17) of the participants in research. We divided the participants into several groups according to the size of their place of residence. The results of our research point to insufficient knowledge about the significance of Cyril and Methodius and their pastoral and missionary activities.

During the Counter-Reformation period in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, there were lively disputes between adherents of different Christian denominations. These resulted in numerous works of religious polemics, which covered various themes from the history of the Slavs, including the processes of Christianisation and the origins of writing. In books devoted to the polemics between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church in Poland in the 16th – 18th centuries, the topic of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the use of the native language in liturgy by some Slavs often appear. This article is an attempt to see whether this theme also appears in the polemical works of Roman Catholic and Protestant writers and how it is commented on. The author’s findings show that, unlike disputes with Orthodox Christians, the theme of the activity of Saints Cyril and Methodius is almost absent from polemics between Protestants and Roman Catholics (and vice versa).

The aim of the current study is to present, interpret and apply the results of quantitative research focused on the perception and reception of the prominent representative of the secret Church, bishop, witness and thinker Ján Chryzostom Korec (1924 – 2015) among the communities of foreign Slovaks. Considering the fact that in 1990-2005 Korec was the diocesan bishop of Nitra, i.e. in the place to which history ascribes the designation “Methodius’ Seat”, and at the same time taking into account the fact that all his pastoral efforts have a distinct Cyrillo-Methodian character, the results of the research on the knowledge and reception of his person can be considered relevant also for the field of research on the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition. In the first part, the study focuses on the personality of Bishop Ján Chryzostom Korec as “Methodius’ successor”. At the same time, on the basis of an analysis of his extensive literary output, we prove the thesis that the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition forms the main axis of Korec’s mission as both pastor and thinker. The second part presents the results of the quantitative survey (630 respondents: 59.5% women (N = 375) and 40.5% men (N = 255) conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. The study concludes with a summary of the research applied to practice, offering four concrete suggestions within the context of the Slovak Cardinal and his Cyrillo-Methodian legacy to make the Slovak Cardinal better known to contemporary Slovaks abroad and at home.

In this study, the author, based on the historical context of Cyrilo-Methodism in the 19th and 20th centuries, highlights the importance of Pope John Paul II for the Slavs and its importance in consolidating Cyrilo-Methodism in modern history through the publication of the papal letter Egregiae virtutis and the encyclical Slavorum apostoli. Great emphasis is placed on the contribution of John Paul II for the Slavic world by the declaration of Sts. Cyril and Methodius as patrons of Europe. Pope John Paul II contextualizes the Catholic Slavism of Leo XIII as its successor in the 20th century. By the declaration of Sts. Cyril and Methodius as patrons of Europe, according to the author, the Pope pursued two intentions: ecumenical and civilizing. He presented Sts, Cyril and Methodius in the context of Catholic Slavism as a civilizational and ecumenical bridge between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. John Paul II as the only Slavic pope on Peter‘s throne, he was the only one who could highlight the example of Sts. Cyril and Methodius for Western Europe, in search of Europe‘s spiritual roots. In this study, the author also points out the importance of the apostolic letter in the Slovak Catholic environment.

CYRILLO-METHODIAN ANNIVERSARIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIALISM (IDEOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS, NATIONAL USES, AND RESEARCH PERSPECTIVES)

The aim of the paper is to address the phenomenon of anniversary in regard to the cultural conditions that are typical of the period of socialism in South-East Europe. The focus is on a jubilee discourse that was generated for the purposes of state commemorations of SS. Cyril and Methodius, i.e. the inventors of the first Slavic alphabet and literacy. The starting point is the case of People’s Republic of Bulgaria (1946 – 1990), which is perceived as both an example of rewriting the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition under the local conditions of Communist ideology, and a meaningful manifestation of the “culture of jubilee”. The paper discusses the continuity of cultural matrix within the Bulgarian modernity despite the distinct semantic shifts in the Cyrillo-Methodian narrative and suggests a great potential of investigating the phenomena with regard to the past that is shared/contested in terms of different national ideologies. It is suggested that a “contrastive grammar” of competing jubilee discourses and practices would be a promising way of interpreting the Bulgarian-Macedonian confrontations and struggles for primacy that emerged during socialism.

The appearance of Slavonic literature is related to the history of early medieval Europe. Speaking of the early literature, as well as translations of liturgical texts, we must mention the oldest centers of literature, whose division has been made in terms of the mission of St. Cyril and Methodius. In the so-called Moravian period this were Mikulčicei Sady near Old Mesta, and Pannonia Mosapurk, the seat of the Duke Kocela. After the collapse of the mission of St. Cyril and Methodius, there remained for some time Slavic monasteries in the Czech Republic (the most famous is the Sazava near Prague), and probably in Pannonia, but the main center of Slavic literature moved to the south. There was a Bulgarian school in Preslav and Macedonian school of St. Clement in Ochrid. Translation of biblical texts by Cyril and Methodius is characterized by beautiful language and fidelity to the content, but it is not an accurate translation. Indeed, they explained for clarity, not for the accuracy of the expressions and phrases. St. Cyril and Methodius were faithful to the Greek model, where it was possible. This was based on two sources: firstly a deep knowledge of the Bible, secondly the mastery of the original language and translation of it. Lexical fidelity were rarely broken , and it was never result of chance. Rather, it was due to subordination of the other, considered to be more important, substantive way. The inaccuracy inherited in the past by the Slavonic translation of the inaccuracy was due to causes similar to those that drove the St. Cyril and Methodius: minuteness of the lexical field could cause confusion on the merits, dismissed the biblical text rather than explain it. Accomplishment of precise clarity in the Slavonic text proceeded patchily. St. Cyril and Methodius were guided by different methods, whose implementation was possible due to the excellent linguistic intuition, and realization of the morphological differences occurring between the Greek and Slavic words, and thanks to their ingenuity in creating new words. The work of the first Apostles of the Slavs didn’t disappeared along with their death, founding worthy successors and followers among their students, who, after the fall of the mission in 885, moved the sacred books to new missionary territories, mostly to Bulgaria. In the period between IX–X to the XIV century there arose three great centers of literature, two of Old-Church-Slavonic and a one Middle-Bulgarian, called schools of Ochrid, Preslav and Tyrnovo.

In postmodern society, a culture of religious indifference is on the rise. Religious faith is no longer regarded as an essential life value worth striving for. This paper emphasizes the significance of the Christian faith, which in the historical context of Central European countries is closely tied to the mission of Saints Constantine-Cyril and Methodius. It examines the causes behind the current decline in the practice of faith and offers pastoral suggestions to address this trend. The most critical means for overcoming this state appears to be fostering dialogue between faith and unbelief. The search for God is a complex process that requires not only human effort but also God’s accompanying grace and cooperation. It is based on the perspective that the search for God is a human dignity, not a limitation. The article does not hide the obstacles to the acceptance of faith by people in contemporary digital culture. These are mainly excessive intellectualism, a lack of personal humility to accept someone higher than oneself (God), and a hectic lifestyle focused on consumption. Encouragingly, dialogue between believers, non-believers, and seekers is possible and has proven to be fruitful in pastoral efforts.

From the beginning of human existence, individuals have developed their abilities to achieve a specific goal. A conscious and purposeful approach to the realization of intentional activities is characterized as a method. Achieving a goal requires the proper arrangement of all elements and resources, aimed at intellectually comprehending objectives that are realized through practical action. For this reason, activities aimed at achieving a goal must be clearly defined and subsequent actions by individuals or specific interest groups must be carried out based on established norms and principles. A scientific abstract method is concretized through practical outcomes, which are characterized by human activity. The general characterization of a method is also updated in the ecclesiastical and canonical context. This implies a specific requirement for a method in relation to missionary activity, which in this paper focuses on the methodological guidance and actions in proclaiming the Good News by the Thessalonian brothers, Saints Cyril and Methodius.
