By the way, today is День славянской письменности и культуры (the Day of Slavic literature and culture, the best translation I can think of). Today Russian Christian Orthodox Church honours the memory of creators of Cyrillic alphabet, Cyril and Methodius.
A couple of links:
History of Cyrillic alphabet [Eng]
Mentioning of this date, the best I could find [Rus]

I think (and hope) that someone can develop this subject better. Sorry if it is off-topic.

(And I apologize for my clumsy English)

Definitely a day worth celebrating!

What's the name of the feast day transliterated into English letters?
