The Saints Kyrillos and Methodios
The
Thessalonikian Saints Kyrillos and Methodios, Teachers of the Slavs.
By Panagiotis K. Christou Professor of the Theological School of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki
in the 9th century.
Since the beginning of the 9th
century over one thousand and one hundred years had already passed since the foundation of the city of
Thessaloniki (315 BC). During this period the city saw days of brilliant glory
as well as terrible calamities but always remained famous and proud.
As the capital city of Illyria, during the
Byzantine period it had to struggle greatly in order to protect the Greek and
Christian culture from the
barbarian nations who kept coming without interruption from
the north, the Goths, the Unnus, the Abarians, and the Slavs.
Protector in these struggles was the most
glorious martyr Demetrios, who was appearing on the walls of the city with a
white mantle and strengthened the defenders every time the raiders worsened the
siege. That is why the Thessalonikians leave no opportunity to demonstrate
their gratitude to the Holy Saviour...click here
