I. The presenter comes out.

Goy, you our nice guests, kind, dear children! I will tell you about Holy Rus', about distant times unknown to you. Once upon a time there were kind fellows, and beautiful girls. And they had kind mothers, bearded, wise priests. They knew how to plow and mow, cut down houses and mansions, they knew how to weave canvases and embroider them with patterns.

But our ancestors did not know how to read, did not know how to read books and write letters. And two enlighteners appeared in Rus', the wise brothers Cyril and Methodius. They were originally from the state of Byzantium and Slavic lands - the city of Thessaloniki. At home two brothers spoke Slavic language, and at school education was conducted only in Greek. The younger brother Kirill dreamed of writing books that would be understandable Slavs, and for this it was necessary to invent Slavic letters . Years have passed. The brothers grew up and learned. But the dream is to create Slavic The alphabet never left my younger brother. He worked hard. And now the alphabet was ready. But coming up with ideas is half the battle. It is necessary to translate from Greek into Slavic books , to the Slavs had something to read. This turned out to be a very difficult task, and Kirill alone could not cope with it. His elder brother Methodius began to help him. Cyril and Methodius accomplished a great work! This event occurred in 863.

Quite recently in our country appeared holiday Slavic culture and writing. It's a pity that it's very late, because in others Slavic countries, in Bulgaria, for example, this day celebrated a long time ago, popularly, very colorfully and truly festively.

Writing- a real treasure that a person has mastered.

So in ancient times, people exchanged information by sending each other various objects. It turned out cumbersome and not particularly clear. When people realized that exchanging message objects was a troublesome task, they began to draw these objects. (Figure No. 1)

Such images were found on the walls of caves where ancient people once lived. These are man's first steps towards creating writing. Gradually, people began to replace drawings with symbols. (picture No. 2)

Inscriptions were made on stones, rocks, and on boards. Of course, endure such « letters» It was difficult over distances and these signs could be understood in different ways.

Time passed. Gradually, people moved from drawings to signs, which they began to call letters. This is how it was born writing.

You see (Figure 3) image of two brothers in monastic robes - Cyril and Methodius. These saints have long been considered patrons "book people"- teachers and students. Since 1987 in our country this holiday Days began to coincide Slavic writing and culture. But this is not only today’s tradition, and a hundred years ago in Russian schools this holiday was celebrated especially solemnly, because the next academic year was ending.

They talked: doesn't the sun shine for everyone, doesn't it for everyone it's raining, doesn’t the earth feed everyone? All people are equal, all people are brothers, everyone is equal before God, and everyone needs literacy. Orthodox The church canonized the brothers Cyril and Methodius.

He wrote in winter and summer,

Illuminated by dim light.

He wrote year after year

About our great people.

(N. Konchalovskaya)

Leading: (pointing to posters with alphabets)

Glagolitic and Cyrillic are the first Slavic alphabet. Alphabet name "Glagolitic" comes from the word VERB, which means "speech". A "Cyrillic" named after its creator. IN Ancient Rus' Glagolitic alphabet was used to transmit church texts and existed for 3 centuries, and in everyday life writing Cyrillic alphabet was used. There are 43 sister letters in total; they became the basis of the modern Russian alphabet.

Reader:

Two brothers, Cyril and Methodius,

We want to say thank you

For the letters that we really need

Walking under the sun of enlightenment

From far away glorious old times,

We are now Slavic brothers,

Faithful to the first teachers!

To the apostles highly renowned

Holy love is deep.

Cases of Methodius - Cyril

IN the Slavs will live for centuries!

Leading:

Currently Old Church Slavonic the language is dead - it is not spoken or written.

Let's look deep into the centuries and see what happened before the appearance of the Cyrillic alphabet.

The initial letter is the alphabet Slavs, used over a vast territory that belonged to the Rus. There were also runitsa (priestly letter, Glagolitic (trade letter, features and cuts (the simplest of written) . The largest was the Vseyasvetnaya charter - 147 characters.

The initial letter is best known to us - under the name of the Cyrillic alphabet, trimmed and cleaned of unnecessary letters and sounds.

Old Slavic The initial letter had 49 initial letters. Modern - only 33.

To translate the Bible into our language, the Byzantine monks Cyril and Methodius remade our Old Slavic initial letter, and the letters they didn’t understand were removed (those that were not in Greek). These letters were also incomprehensible because the sounds they denoted were not found in Greek words. The Greeks still have only 24 letters.

Appearance of letters Slavic the alphabet helps us see the world through the eyes of our ancestors. Each letter is individual, unique and has its own Name: lead, people, beeches, az, earth. The names of the letters were supposed to remind people of words that they had forgotten it is forbidden: "good", "live", "Earth", "People", "peace".

"Az" And "Buki". The result is a word "ABC".

That's what people say: "At first "az" Yes "beeches", then science.” It is with the basics that the path of each of us into the world of knowledge begins.

Guys, do you know the proverbs about the benefits of learning?

He who wants to know a lot needs little sleep.

Going into science means suffering.

Do you know what “Az-Buki-Vedi” means? “I know the letters,” the alphabet tells us. Imagine - three letters hide a whole phrase! For our ancestors - Slavs the alphabet was not just a collection of letters, but a reflection of the harmony of the world in the word.

1 reader:

So these are our origins,

They float, glowing in the twilight,

Solemnly strict lines,

Cast Slavic script.

So this is where, this is where for the first time

Found at the foot of the mountains

Under fire sign Sofia

Diamond hardness verb.

2 reader:

The great mystery of sound,

Contemptible decay and death,

On the blue Dnieper bends

The motionless firmament shook.

And Rus' is over the foaming water,

Open to free winds,

"I am!"- declared to the Universe,

"I am!"- declared to the centuries.

Leading:

It's hard to believe, but once upon a time our ancestors - the Slavs had no books at all because there were no letters with which to write Slavic speech.

After accepting the Christian religion Slavs began to use Latin and Greek letters instead of their simplest signs.

But this was not very convenient, since these letters could not convey all the features Slavic speech.

And two enlighteners, wise brothers, appeared in Rus'...

Since the 10th century, literature based on the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet has been spreading in the Old Russian language. Most often these were church books, teachings, and scientific works. Getting to know the exhibition.

Books were very expensive. The production of ancient handwritten books was labor-intensive. The material for them was parchment (Figure 4)- specially crafted leather. The best parchment was made from soft, thin skin of lambs and calves. She was cleared of wool and washed thoroughly. Then they pulled them onto drums, sprinkled them with chalk and cleaned them with pumice. After air drying, the rough edges were cut off from the leather and sanded again with pumice. The tanned leather was cut into rectangular pieces and sewn into notebooks of eight sheets. It is noteworthy that this ancient order of stitching has been preserved to this day. day. The stitched notebooks were collected into a book. Depending on the format and number of sheets, one book required from 10 to 30 animal skins - a whole herd! According to the testimony of one of the scribes who worked at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries, three rubles were paid for the leather for the book. At that time these money you could buy three horses.

They usually wrote books quill pen and ink. The privilege of writing swan and even peacock feather had the king. Manufacturing written accessories required a certain skill. The feather was always removed from the left wing of the bird so that the bend would be comfortable for the right writing hand. The feather was degreased by sticking it into hot sand, then the tip was cut off obliquely, split and sharpened with a special penknife. They also scraped out errors in the text.

Medieval ink, unlike the blue and black we are used to, was brown in color, as it was made on the basis of ferrous compounds, or, more simply, rust. Pieces of old iron were dipped into the water, which, rusting, painted it brown. Ancient recipes for making ink have been preserved. In addition to iron, oak or alder bark, cherry glue, kvass, honey and many other substances were used as components, giving the ink the necessary viscosity, color, and stability. Centuries later, this ink has retained its brightness and color strength. Unfortunately, ancient books very few have survived. Only about 130 copies priceless evidence from the 11th and 12th centuries. came to us. There were few of them in those days.

To decorate manuscripts, titles in the Middle Ages were written in a special, decorative font - script. (Figure 5)

The letters, extended upward, intertwined with each other (hence the name - ligature, forming a text similar to a ribbon of an ornament. They wrote in ligature not only on paper. Gold and Silver vessels, fabrics were often covered with elegant inscriptions. Of all types of ancient letters before 19th century. It was the ligature that was preserved, although only in Old Believer books and decorative inscriptions. (Figure 6)

On the pages of ancient Russian books, the text was arranged in one or two columns. Letters were not divided into lowercase and uppercase. They filled the line in a long sequence without the usual intervals between words. To save space, some, mostly vowel, letters were written above the line or replaced with a sign - title - with a horizontal line. The endings of words that were well known and frequently used were also truncated. The tradition of placing an accent mark on each word - force - was borrowed from Byzantium.

For a long time there was no pagination. Instead, the word that started the next page was written at the bottom right.

Some features of Old Russian punctuation are also curious. Of the punctuation marks familiar to us, only the period was in use, borrowed from the Byzantine writing. They placed it arbitrarily, sometimes defining the boundaries between words, sometimes indicating the end of a phrase. In the 15-16th centuries. writing has become more complex. In books, for example, commas appeared to indicate pauses, and a semicolon replaced a question mark.

The work of a scribe is not easy. The work moved slowly. On average, for day I managed to write only two or four pages, not only without errors, but also beautifully.

Medieval handwritten books were elegantly decorated. Before the text, they always made a headband - a small ornamental composition, often in the form of a frame around the title of a chapter or section. The first, capital letter in the text - the initial - was written larger and more beautiful than the others, decorated with ornaments, sometimes in the form of a man, animal, bird, or fantastic creature. Usually the initial was red. Since then they say - write from the red line. The section ended with a ending - a small drawing, for example, an image of two birds that looked like peacocks.

1 reader:

From the well, such blue depths

My Kitezh is growing, four walls,

Gilded ridge, lace shutters - apart...

The east is turning pink. Ros is illuminated.

Wooden fairy tale, lake peace,

Why do I need your shore, so lacy?

In the whimsical curves of patterned roofs?

Yes, a shepherd's horn? Yes, pipe reed?

2 reader:

Apparently, the archival memory began to hurt,

If there is nothing to regret in the concrete wilds -

So at least lure you from the depths,

From Cyrillic woven epic songs.

Wooden fairy tale, forgotten Ros,

You pierce my soul right through with an arrow.

And I don’t know why this is necessary,

Like water from a well, your old man...

Historian: (in robe and confederate hat)

In Rus', other materials were used for a long time. letters - birch bark(Figure 7). Birch bark is a very convenient material for letters, although it required some preparation. Birch bast was boiled in water to make the bark more elastic, then its rough layers were removed. The birch bark sheet was cut from all sides, giving it a rectangular shape. Wrote on inside bark, squeezing out letters with a special stick - a pen - made of bone, metal or wood. One end of the writing was pointed, and the other was made in the form of a spatula with a hole and hung from the belt. Technique letters on birch bark allowed texts to be preserved in the ground for centuries.

Over time, more convenient machines appeared, and with them the modern alphabet.

(wax tablets + birch bark)

Reader:

A good book, my companion, my friend,

Leisure time with you can be interesting.

You teach to be truthful and valiant,

To understand and love nature, people.

I treasure you, I take care of you.

I can't live without a good book.

Today, I think it’s worth talking about musical notation letter, since many of you are involved in music. The appearance of notes is largely due to man's need to store information about the melody he has invented and pass it on to subsequent generations.

The history of notes goes back thousands of years since the appearance of the first musical instruments. True in those days musical notation there were no sounds made musical instruments, were written in the form of notations invented by musician: dashes, dots, various curlicues. Ancient collections were written with hooks - non-linear notes. Such hooks were also called "hatchets" or "kondakar" notes (from the word KONDak - verse) (sheets of music and book). This type of music letters disappeared in the 13th century. Later, these symbols began to be written on horizontal lines. But the different designation of notes for each musician brought chaos to music world- this became the prerequisite for the appearance of notes similar to modern ones. They were supposed to bring order to the process of recording musical compositions and make them easy to read for other people.

2) My mother carried me,

My mother dropped me

People lifted me up

They took me to the market to trade,

They cut off my head, I started drinking

And speak clearly. (Goose feather).

Our ancestors wrote with goose feathers, very rarely with swan feathers, and one manuscript mentions a pavier feather - a peacock feather.

Goose feathers were subjected to special processing: stuck on a short time into sand or ash, and then scraped off the unnecessary membranes.

3) Not a bush, but with leaves.

Not a shirt, but sewn,

Not a person, but a storyteller. (Book).

Leading:

In the old days, books were written by hand. The work progressed slowly. It sometimes took five to seven years to produce one - a single manuscript - book. The scribe had to have clear and beautiful handwriting. Each letter was often not even written, but drawn.

The ink was carefully selected; they even wrote with dissolved gold or silver. The starting line of a new chapter was highlighted in red ink, hence the expression - start with a red line.

The copied sheets were decorated with drawings and bound in leather-covered wooden boards. On the covers they put gems, gold or silver clasps. In the old days they loved speak: “The book word walks in pearls”. This book cost a lot of money.

There are letters that hiss,

There are whistling letters

And only one of them -

The letter is growling.

The bell is ringing. A letter comes in.

Hello! I am the letter "Rtsy".

No wonder I'm proud of myself,

After all, I am the beginning of the word “Rus”.

Thank you, letters, for teaching us beauty, kindness, wisdom.

Teacher: 2014 has been declared the Year of Culture. We want to turn to the origins of our culture, to introduce you to the history of the origin of writing in Rus'.
Today, more than ever, it is worth remembering that the Day of Slavic Literature is a pan-Slavic holiday. We must carefully preserve age-old traditions. Understand that all Slavic peoples have always been united.
So, let's take a journey through the pages of history. Let's find out how writing appeared in Rus'.
Russian
-It’s hard to believe, but once upon a time we didn’t have printed books.
Russian
There was a time when our Slavic ancestors did not have a written language. They didn't know the letters. (Slide 2) They wrote letters, but not with letters, but with drawings. Every object of our ancestors meant something, symbolized something.
Teacher: Guys, do you know what our ancestors wrote in? Yes. It was papyrus. Please note on the board we have samples of papyrus leaves. (Slide 3) Later in Rus' they began to use birch bark sheets (processed birch bark). The beautiful birch tree has long been revered in Rus'.
(Slide 4) Let's sing the song “There was a birch tree in the field”
Russian
In a narrow monastery cell,
In four blank walls
About the land about ancient Russian
The story was written down by a monk.

(Slide 5)

(A monk enters with a lit candle, sits down at the table, writes with a quill pen)
Russian
He wrote in winter and summer,
Illuminated by dim light.
He wrote year after year
About our great people.

(Press sound Slide 5)/A bell rings in the audio recording/
Chronicler(getting up)
Across broad Rus' - our mother
The bells ring out.
Now the brothers Saints Cyril and Methodius
They are glorified for their efforts.

Russian
Remember Cyril and Methodius,
Glorious brothers, equal to the apostles,
In Belarus, in Macedonia,
In Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia,
They praise the wise brothers in Bulgaria,
In Ukraine, Croatia, Serbia.
Chronicler
All the peoples who write in Cyrillic,
What have been called Slavic since ancient times,
They glorify the feat of the first teachers,
Christian enlighteners.
Teacher: (Slide 6) Brothers Cyril and Methodius, originally from Byzantium, holy brothers equal to the apostles, brought writing to Rus' and created the first alphabet (Cyrillic), which we use to this day. They are revered as saints.
Let's go back to the distant past and listen to the conversation between two brothers. Let's find out which of them dreamed of creating the Slavic alphabet.
(Slide 7)

(two brothers are sitting on a bench, walking behind with a book school teacher)
Author: On the shore of the warm sea stands the city of Solun (now it is called Thessaloniki.) Here Byzantium ended, then came the vast lands of the Slavs, our ancestors. Many residents of Soluni were also Slavs.
Two brothers lived here, the sons of a military leader. Their father was Greek, but their Slavic mother spoke to the children in her native Slavic language. It's time for the boys to go to school. First, the elder brother, MEFODIUS, began to study; a few years later, the younger brother, Konstantin, went to school.
Everything at school seemed terribly interesting and surprising to him, and he kept pestering his older brother with questions:
Kirill:
- Why does the teacher speak Greek all the time? I heard that in the shop he spoke excellent Slavic.
Methodius:
- So it’s in the shop. And at school you can only Greek. Because books, knowledge, everything comes from the Greeks.
Kirill:
-Why don’t the Slavs have their own books?

Methodius:
-Because you can’t write in Slavic.
Author: At this time, a school teacher passed by. He heard the brothers talking.
Teacher:
-Don’t you know that only cultural languages ​​are worthy of ink and parchment - Latin and Greek. All other languages ​​are rude and barbaric, and you cannot write in them!
Kirill:
-No, you can! - said the younger brother. So I will grow up and come up with Slavic letters.
They leave. The chronicler enters with the ABC and sits down at the table.
Years have passed. The younger brother studied very well and soon became the best student in the entire school. He was sent to study further, to the capital of Byzantium, the city of Constantinople. But even there he did not forget about his dream - to create the alphabet of the Slavs.
The Greek king Michael sent these brothers to the Slavs so that they could tell about the saints Christian books, book words unknown to them.

Teacher: And so the brothers Constantine and Methodius came to the Slavs to create the Slavic alphabet.
(Slide 8) Chronicler(holds the book “Russian ABC” in his hands)
This visible little book
According to the spoken alphabet,
Printed quickly by order of the Tsar
To all young children to learn
Ukrainian (takes the book from the Chronicler)
Here is the ABC - the beginning of everything.
I opened the primer and felt like childhood!
Ukrainian
And Konstantin the philosopher at night
I didn’t sleep, I was probably making up letters.
Whispered. Dipped the pen into ink.
Ukrainian
He understood that letters are the basis
Of the coming unwritten word,
As big as the Pacific Ocean.
Presenter (teacher)
On May 24, 863, in Bulgaria, Cyril and Methodius announced the creation of an alphabet. They tried to keep each letter of the first Slavic alphabet simple and clear and used the new alphabet to translate Greek religious texts into Slavic. (Slide 8) Cyril and Methodius translated the Ostromir Gospel (Slide 9), the Apostle and the Psalter into Slavic.
They remembered that a person, as soon as he saw a letter, would immediately want to master writing.
And Cyril and Methodius came up with initial letters, and from them they made up the alphabet. What is this alphabet called? (Cyrillic). Why is it called that? (named after Kirill, one of its creators).
(Slide 10) That's right, guys. At first there were two alphabets: Glagolitic and Cyrillic. Take a closer look at these Cyrillic letters. Don't they remind you of letters you already know? (Children's answers). Each letter in the ancient Slavic alphabet was special. They had a name. Let's read the names of the letters of the first line together.
(Slide 11) (Read in chorus)
Az - I;
Beeches – letters, books;
Vedi - to know, to know;
Verb - I say, word;
Good is good;
Yes – yes;
Live - life;
Presenter (teacher)
If you noticed, all the meanings of the letters had good meanings and were associated with life and earth. The alphabet told about the life of the earth.
Let these ancient letters now come to life with the help of our magical ABC.
"Letters" are included.

Az: Hello children! Guess which letter I am? That's right, my name is "Az". Name the words that begin with me. (Children call).
*****
Beeches: Now guess what my name is? That's right, my name is "Buki". Remember how many good, tasty words begin with my letter. Name them. Now call us in order.
*******
Leading: The result is the word "ABC". You, dear letters, have the great honor of standing at the beginning of our alphabet. This is what people say: “First “az” and “buki”, and then science.” The path of each of you into the world of knowledge begins with the basics. Guys, remember the proverbs about the benefits of learning.

The guys say the proverbs:

1. Learning is light, not learning is darkness.
2. Live forever and learn.
3. Hard to learn - easy to fight.
(Slide 12) with proverbs)
Leading: And another letter is rushing towards us. Introduce youreself!
Lead: Hello children! My name is "Vedi". I know everything, I know about everything.
I want to ask you a few riddles. I find out that you know. (Reads from the scroll).
1. The sister birds sat in a row
And they speak silently. (letters)
2. Not a bush, but with leaves.
Not a shirt, but sewn,
Not a person, but a storyteller. (book)
3. I’ll catch a goose and throw it into the water,
I will drive him, he will talk. (Feather)
4. What kind of water is only suitable for literate people? (Ink)

5. Five oxen plow with one plow. (Fingers and pen)

Leading: Let's continue our acquaintance with the Slavic alphabet.
Letter Verb:Hello children! I am the letter "Verb".
Leading: What a beautiful name you have! What does it mean? What do you guys think? To verb means to speak. But before you speak, you need to think carefully. People used to say: “If you say a word, you won’t get it back, and you’d give a lot for a word, but you won’t be able to redeem it.”
Letter Verb:Let's try to finish the endings of sentences
(Reads from the scroll) (Slide 13)
2 A: “Az, beeches, lead, scary as…………. the Bears."
2 B: “They teach the alphabet, they shout to the whole hut……………...”
2 G: “First AZ and BUKI, then …………..science.”

Leading: Look, another letter is rushing towards us!
Good: Good afternoon, children! My name is "Good".
Leading: What a good name you have! Kindness is the best character trait of a person.
Today we will perform the song “Kindness” (Slide 14)
KINDNESS Words by N. Tulupova Music by I. Luchenko
It is not at all easy to be kind.
Kindness does not depend on color,
Kindness is not a carrot, not a candy.

Chorus:
You just have to, you just have to be kind
And in times of trouble, do not forget each other.
And the earth will spin faster,
If we are kinder to you.

It's not easy to be kind.
Kindness does not depend on height,
Kindness brings people joy
And in return it does not require a reward.

Kindness does not age over the years,
Kindness will warm you from the cold.
If kindness shines like the sun,
Adults and children rejoice.

Leading
: And a new guest is coming to us from ABC!

People: Hello children! I am the letter "People".
People, you live in harmony,
Bring affection and love.
We cannot divide the radiant sun into parts,
And the eternal land cannot be divided,
But you can have a spark of happiness, you must,
You can give it to your friends.
Leading: Meet us, a new letter is coming to us!

Think: Hello, children! My name is "Think".
Leading: What a wise letter has come to us!
Think: I brought you sayings. Explain their meaning. (opens scrolls with proverbs and sayings.)
2 A class.
A mind without a book is like a bird without wings.
A bird is not red with its feathers, it is red with its mind.
Gold comes from the earth, and knowledge comes from books.
2 In class.
A book is to the mind what warm rain is to sunrise.
It’s not good to read books if you can only grasp the tops of them.
What is written with a pen cannot be cut down with an axe.
2nd grade.
The spoken word has existed and no, but the written word lives forever.
The book decorates in happiness, and consoles in misfortune.
Bread nourishes warmth, and a book nourishes the mind.
Teacher: Well done, guys! Everything was explained correctly..
Belarusian
The sages have long known:
Where smart thoughts are cramped,
There is no envy, no boredom.
There are jacks of all trades there.
Sew, cook and draw,
Sing and dance loudly.
Belarusian
There are letters that hiss,
There are whistling letters
And only one of them -
The letter is growling.
Letter Rtsy: Hello, children! I am the letter "Rtsy".
No wonder I’m proud of myself, because I am the beginning of the word “Rus”
Rus' is rich in talents,
Rus' is strong in talents.
If the girls sing,
So she will live.
The song is sung: “Oh, you, my canopy, my canopy!”
Host: Thank you, letters, for teaching us beauty, kindness, wisdom. Thanks to the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius for giving us the Slavic alphabet.
(Slide 15) The Solun brothers are the pride of the entire Slavic world. Constantine-Cyril the Philosopher and his brother Methodius are often depicted with books in their hands.

Presenter 2: Since childhood, we have become accustomed to the letters of our Russian alphabet and do not think about how we manage to convey any sounds and words using a combination of sticks and circles. How did our letters come about?

Presenter 1: How did each nation develop its native language?

Presenter 2: Slavic writing has an amazing origin. Thanks to the chronicles we inherited from our ancestors, the lives of saints and other sources, they know about the beginning of Slavic literacy. We not only know the time of the appearance of the Slavic alphabet, but also the names of the creators of Slavic writing and their biographies.

3 reader.

First teachers!

Elder brother - Mikhail,
Younger brother - Konstantin,
That's what they were called in the world back then,

And they understood the Bulgarian language.

Presenter 1: They were born a long time ago, more than a thousand years ago, in greek city Thessaloniki (now Thessaloniki, in Northern Greece).

Presenter 2: As children, both did not know the need for anything. Their father was rich and noble. The boys lived in huge house, where they were surrounded by luxury, and servants were in a hurry to fulfill any desire.

Their father was Greek, but their Slavic mother spoke to the children in her native Slavic language. It's time for the boys to go to school. The older brother started studying first, and a few years later the younger brother went to school.

Everything at school seemed very interesting and surprising to Konstantin, and he kept pestering his older brother with questions: Why does the teacher speak Greek all the time? Why don’t the Slavs have their own books? And Mikhail answered: “Because it is impossible to write in the Slavic language.”

“So I’ll grow up and come up with Slavic letters,” said Konstantin.


Years have passed. The younger brother studied very well and soon became the best student in the entire school. He was sent further to the capital of Byzantium, the city of Constantinople. But even there, at the emperor’s court, he did not forget about his dream - to create the alphabet of the Slavs.


Presenter 1:

The eldest of the brothers, Methodius, with early years showed interest in knowledge. He was taught in the sciences by home teachers invited by his father. Then he entered military service and coped with his duties so well that soon, despite his youth, he occupied a very high position. The Byzantine emperor himself patronized the capable young man and appointed him ruler of Macedonia, a country subject to Byzantium, the main population of which was the Slavs.


Presenter 2: The lives of both brothers were such that they could become richer than their father. As people close to the imperial house, they would never want for anything.

Presenter 1: However, both brothers chose a different path. They crowned themselves with great glory, but not as courtiers or military leaders, but as conductors of the Christian faith and sowers of book knowledge among Slavic peoples.

And they understood the Bulgarian language.

5 reader.

It was the ninth century
The European world was waiting for change,
The Asian world was waiting for change,
And the Slavic world foreshadowed this
.

1 reader

Lives tell us that the brothers were born in the city of Thessaloniki. There were many Slavs in this city, and therefore almost all its inhabitants knew the Slavic language. This language was familiar to Cyril and Methodius from early childhood.

Monk Cyril and righteous Methodius,
Two brothers who were born in Thessaloniki,
We decided to create a Slavic primer,
So that every Slav knows the Scripture...

2reader.

Elder brother Mikhail following in his father's footsteps
Entered military service;
After serving for many years, he decided to leave
From everyday affairs and from vanity -
To the monastery on Olympus, glorify the Creator,
Create imperishable beauty.




3 reader.

The younger brother Konstantin, slowly, grew up,
Since childhood, I have read smart books avidly,
I revered the Christian church fathers,
Trembling at the great Word,
From Gregory the Theologian!

There he took holy monastic orders
And from then on he began to be called Methodius,
He began his service immediately:
A lifelong feat awaited him ahead
