May 24 Russia celebrates Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. This is a holiday of enlightenment, native words, native books, native culture and literature. Throughout the week, events dedicated to this memorable date were held in the branch libraries of the Mineralovodsk Central Library.
May 22 employees library branch No. 2 invited students of grade 3 “B” of MBOU Secondary School No. 6 to participate in an informational and educational hour "ABC! I know you!.
Library workers told the children about the holiday, its history and significance for the culture of Russia, about the development of Slavic writing from ancient times to the present day, and about the main role of the enlighteners Cyril and Methodius in the creation of the Slavic alphabet.
May 23 readers library branch of the village Nagutskoye went on a literary journey "Naughty letters". The children were invited on a journey through the Land of Words by the library brownie Styopka. During the journey, the children learned how and when people invented letters and the alphabet, how the Slavic alphabet appeared, and learned to read and write.
The children met the inhabitants of the country - mischievous letters, and with the help of Styopka overcame obstacles, performing various tasks. The winner of the last competition, who came up with the most words from the word GRAMMAR, received a prize.
At the end of the trip, all participants were given bookmarks with a recommended list of literature.
On the same day library branch of the village Levokumka an educational hour was held “And let our Slavic alphabet be famous”.
The presenter spoke about the history of the creation of Slavic writing. The children learned about what a book is and how it used to be designed. The children listened with interest to the story about how their peers studied before; learned how learning to read and write in the old days differed from learning in modern times.
May 24 V Library-branch No. 6 folklore gatherings took place “The deeds of Methodius and Cyril will live for centuries in the Slavs”. In a warm, friendly atmosphere, librarians told the children about the history of the celebration of the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. During the event, young readers were shown cartoons: “How the first word was written”, “Write and read”. Over aromatic tea, the children learned how learning to read and write in ancient Rus' differed from modern one and what the first books were like. At the end of the event, the “Games in Rus'” playground took place. Readers were introduced to such interesting games as: “We sat on the golden porch,” “Ring,” etc.
May 25, as part of the “Read - Country!” campaign, the Children's Library invited its regular readers - students of the 7th grade of MBOU Secondary School No. 20 to visit an event dedicated to the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, and the All-Russian Day of Libraries.
On this day, a literary quest was prepared for the children "Secrets of Faded Lines". Two teams - “Calligraphers” and “First Printers” deciphered Old Church Slavonic sayings and individual words; their meanings were found in Dahl's dictionaries; collected puzzles of Greek amphorae and the initial letter “A”; went through the Greek labyrinth; they encrypted names with Slavic runes.
On the same day, on library branch of the village Maryina Wells, as part of the series “Lace of Slavic Speech”, a literary and historical excursion was conducted “The alphabet has a Slavic soul”. The event began with a conversation about the history of the holiday, the emergence of the Slavic alphabet and the beginning of book printing in Rus'. Much attention was paid to the compilers of the first alphabet - the brothers Cyril and Methodius, in whose memory the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture was established. The children discovered a lot of new and unknown things: they learned about the origins of this holiday, learned to distinguish between the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet. Then the children took an excursion to the Maryinokolodtsevsky Church, where they became acquainted with the icons of Cyril and Methodius and liturgical books.
The road to writing was long and difficult. It all started, as some scientists think, with bears. It was a very long time ago. In those days, people lived in caves, since there were no houses yet. And some caves were inhabited by bears. One day, people pushed them out of a cave, looked around and saw some mysterious signs on the walls of their homes. These were scratches that the bears made when they sharpened their claws on the wall. People realized that they could scratch an image on a flat surface. This is how the road to writing arose.

Scenario for the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture:
“Only words are given life”
Developed
Russian language teacher
And literature
Vlasova G.M.
1 presenter: Guys! Today we celebrate the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, we remember Cyril and Methodius - the creators of the Slavic alphabet. In Russia, the holiday was revived in 1985 and is celebrated annually until May 24. In 1991, the holiday was given state status. Now it’s even strange to think that there was a time when people couldn’t read and write. All knowledge was transmitted orally.
2 presenter: But then writing appeared - a great invention of mankind. It allowed people to preserve knowledge that otherwise would certainly have been forgotten.
1 presenter: Guys, do you know how people conveyed various messages to each other when there were no letters?
(The guys answer.)
The road to writing was long and difficult. It all started, as some scientists think, with bears. It was a very long time ago. In those days, people lived in caves, since there were no houses yet. And some caves were inhabited by bears. One day, people pushed them out of a cave, looked around and saw some mysterious signs on the walls of their homes. These were scratches that the bears made when they sharpened their claws on the wall. People realized that they could scratch an image on a flat surface. This is how the road to writing arose. But the road turned out to be long. Listen to an excerpt from the poem by the American poet G. Longfellow “The Song of Hiawatha,” about the legendary Indian leader.
1st reader:
He took the paints out of the bag,
He took out all the colors
And on a smooth birch bark
He made a lot of secret signs;
They all portrayed
Our thoughts, our speeches.
The white circle was a sign of life,
The black circle was a sign of death;
Sky, stars, moon and sun,
Mountains, forests and mountain valleys,
And everything that inhabits
The earth together with man.
He drew for the Earth
Paint a straight line,
For heaven - an arc above her,
For sunrise - point on the left,
For sunset - the point on the right,
And for half a day - at the top.
All the space under the arc
White day meant
The stars in the center are the time of night,
And the wavy stripes -
Clouds, rain and bad weather.
2 presenter: Guys, what did Hiawatha invent? ( Letter.)
(The guys answer.)
What can you call such a letter? ( Picturesque)
(The guys answer.)
Many thousands of years ago, our ancestors began to decorate the walls of their homes with various designs. So, on the stone caves one could see many images of birds, animals, people, and boats. Such writing was called pictography, or picture writing.
1 presenter: Guys, tell me, now, in modern life, are pictograms, that is, a drawing-letter, used anywhere? (Yes, these include street signs, signs, signs, emblems of states, cities, etc.)
(The guys answer.)
Competition “Draw a proverb”
(Participants are given cards with proverbs. Participants need to illustrate the proverb, and the audience needs to guess it.)
Cards
Az, beeches and veds are afraid of bears.
What is written with a pen cannot be cut out with an axe.
The ABC is a stepping stone to wisdom.
2 presenter: Later, picture writing was replaced by “sacred signs” - hieroglyphs, and when two thousand years ago the Phoenicians invented symbol letters only for consonants - cuneiform. Based on the Phoenician script, the first alphabet appeared in Greece, which gave rise to both Latin and Slavic writing.
Other writing methods are also known. For example, South American Indians used knotted writing - quipu. They attached thinner cords to a thick cord or stick. You could tell what we were talking about by the color of the cord. Yellow meant gold, white meant silver, red meant warriors. And the number of knots on the cord indicated the number of people or objects. And in North America, the Indians transmitted information using wampum. Shells of different shapes and painted in different colors were strung on cords. Red meant war, black meant threat, white meant peace, happiness, prosperity.
1 presenter: In the third century BC, hieroglyphs appeared in the East. These are signs that stand for whole words. In China, there are approximately 50 thousand hieroglyphs, and they are written and read not from left to right, as in our country, but from top to bottom.
2 presenter : Russian writing also has elements of hieroglyphic writing. For example, the signs “+”, “-”, “=”. The “+” sign can be read in different ways: as a plus, and as an addition, and as an addition; sign “-” - as a minus, subtract, subtract; the sign “=” - as an equals sign, equals, equals.
1 presenter: Now guys, guess the riddle:
Black, crooked, mute from birth.
They’re unlikely to—they’ll start talking right away. ( Letters.)
(The guys answer.)
Letters make up the alphabet. The Slavs did not yet know letters, but the Phoenicians, a people who inhabited the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the first millennium BC, already had their own alphabet consisting of 22 letters. It is interesting that only consonants were reflected in the letter, and the vowels were guessed according to their meaning.
2 presenter: What kind of writing did not exist in the world! But despite the fact that they wrote differently in different countries, at all times and among all peoples the people who created writing were revered and respected. So we annually honor the memory of two enlighteners - the Thessaloniki brothers Cyril and Methodius, who were born at the beginning of the ninth century in Greece in the city of Thessaloniki. Hence they were called Thessalonica brothers. These were very educated and wise people.
1 presenter : The elder brother Methodius was appointed ruler of one of the regions in the Balkans, later he became a monk and entered a monastery. Kirill was the patriarch's librarian, then taught philosophy in Constantinople, for which he received the nickname Philosopher. His real name is Konstantin. And he took the name Cyril before his death when he was tonsured a monk.
2 presenter : In 863, both brothers were invited to the palace of the city of Constantinople, where the emperor instructed them to go to Moravia, modern territory of the Czech Republic, to preach sermons in the Slavic language in the country that had recently converted to Christianity. But the ancient Slavs did not have their own written language, which means they could not read. And the books known at that time were in Greek, which the Slavs did not understand. The brothers were given a difficult task. And so they decided first to compile the Slavic alphabet and translate books from Greek into Slavic.
1 presenter: Cyril and Methodius developed their own original writing for the Slavs. The first alphabet was called Glagolitic and consisted of 38 letters. How many letters in this alphabet were different from other alphabets!
2 presenter: The Solun brothers took some of the letters from the Greek alphabet, and some they invented themselves. They rewrote several biblical books for their people using the new alphabet. For this feat - the creation of Slavic writing - the brothers were canonized. The activities of Constantine and Methodius met resistance from the German clergy, who opposed the Slavic letter.
1 presenter : Only three languages in the world - Hebrew, Latin and Greek - were acceptable in those days. After the death of the Thessalonica brothers, their students continued their activities in disseminating Slavic writing. And only later, in Bulgaria, students of the Enlightenment invented the second and main Slavic alphabet. Do you know what it was called and why?(Cyrillic, after the name of one of the brothers.)
(The guys answer.)
2 presenter: In Cyrillic, the letters have a simpler and clearer form for us. It was the ‘bf alphabet’ that became the basis of the Russian “ABC”. Why did this textbook get this name?(By the names of the first letters - “az” and “buki”.)
(The guys answer.)
2nd reader:
In the old days, children studied -
They were taught by the church clerk.
They came at dawn
And the letters repeated like this:
A da B is like Az da Buki,
V – as Vedi, G – Verb.
And a teacher for science
On Saturdays I flogged them.
It was difficult to read and write
To our ancestors in the old days.
And the girls were supposed to
Don't learn anything.
Only boys were trained.
Deacon with a pointer in hand
I read books to them in a sing-song manner
In church language.
1 presenter: Time passed. People gradually simplified the Cyrillic alphabet and excluded some letters from it. This is how the modern alphabet appeared. How many letters does it have?
(The guys answer.)
2 presenter: Do you know what our ancestors wrote hieroglyphs on, drew pictures and wrote the first letters on?
(The guys answer.)
They wrote on cave walls, clay tablets, papyrus, animal skin, parchment, birch bark, palm leaves, fabrics, and metals. And in the second century AD, the Chinese invented something without which there would have been no printing - paper. And now we can’t stop admiring colorfully illustrated books.
1 presenter: Look how beautiful the pages of these books are! We are surprised and admired by the creations of man, but we should not forget the first teachers, because thanks to the works of these people, today we can read any book, write any text, and pass on information to future generations.
3rd reader:
The tombs, mummies and bones are silent, -
Only the word is given life:
From ancient darkness
At the world graveyard,
Only the Letters sound.
And we have no other property!
Know how to take care
At least to the best of my ability, in days of anger and suffering,
Our priceless gift is speech.
2 presenter: I.A. In this poem, Bunin bequeathed to his descendants to take care of our Russian speech. And we also urge you, our younger generation, to be careful, respect and understand Russian culture and our traditions.
4th reader:
Singing about Russia - why strive to go to church
Through forested mountains, field carpets...
To sing about Russia - to welcome spring,
What to wait for the bride, what to console the mother...
To sing about Russia is to forget the melancholy,
What is love to love, what is it to be immortal!
On May 24, on the day of remembrance of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Equal-to-the-Apostles, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. This holiday dates back to a church tradition that existed back in the 10th-11th centuries. Traditionally, this is one of the brightest national, patriotic holidays of the Slavic peoples. “JOURNEY TO THE COUNTRY OF THE SLAVIC ABC” - a festive event for primary and secondary school students dedicated to this most important milestone in our history.

Scenario for a festive event dedicated to
Day of Slavic Literature and Culture
1. What caused it.
Approximate scenario - immersion in the holiday of Slavic literature and culture
The phonogram of the pan-Slavic anthem “Slavs” is played.
Presenters (adult and child) enter the stage
The child presenter reads poems by I. A. Bunin
The tombs, mummies and bones are silent, -
Only the Word is given life:
From ancient darkness, at the world graveyard
Only the Letters sound.
And we have no other property!
Know how to take care
At least to the best of my ability, in days of anger and suffering,
Our immortal gift is speech. (1915)
Adult presenter:
The old style attracts me.
There is charm in ancient speech.
It happens in our words
And more modern and sharper. (B. Akhmadullina. 1962)
Once again, within the walls of the hospitable Palace of Culture, those who cherish the history of our Fatherland, its culture, our language and its origins meet. Everywhere in our country and abroad the days of Slavic culture and writing are celebrated, because in May the memory of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, Slovenian teachers, is celebrated. The creators of the new alphabet left a legacy to the Slavic peoples that enriched our culture, made it fruitful, just as a wild olive is grafted with noble shoots, and a new viable breed is born. Why were their activities so successful? Because their goal was high: to introduce the Slavs to the Christian faith through the comprehension of literacy, through the study of book science.
And we want to honor their memory by starting our holiday with the performance of an ancient chant in their honor - the troparion. (They leave. The choir next to the stage sings the troparion.)
Like an apostle of uniformity
And teachers of the Slovenian countries,
Cyril and Methodius of God's Wisdom,
Pray to the Lord of all,
Establish all Slovenian languages in Orthodoxy and unanimity,
Pacify the world
And save our souls.
An adult presenter comes out. And today schoolchildren will go on a trip to celebrate the name day of the Slavic Alphabet.
A messenger runs onto the stage. He waves a scroll. The other two bring out and place a large BASKET on the front stage.
Messenger: (Loudly) Message from Her Majesty! (stops). Who are the travelers here?
Her Majesty ordered a Message to be conveyed to you!
The travelers accept the scroll. They unfold it and read it.
“My dear friends! I am glad to welcome you at the beginning of your journey. This time you will travel through time and space. You will find yourself in different situations and see events from the history of writing. And each time you have to name the time, place and characters. Whenever you are in difficulty, my fabulous KNOWLEDGE BASKET will help you. Contact her for help. I wish you good luck!
SLAVIC ABC"
Adult presenter: (Addressing the audience): We also wish success to our travelers. Who knows, maybe the knowledge of those sitting in the hall will be useful to them.
Participants are located on the left side of the stage. The lights go out. Music is playing.
SCENE 1 Childhood of Cyril and Methodius.
The phonogram “sound of the sea” sounds. The middle of the stage is illuminated. There are two teenagers on it. One of them is older. The older one throws pebbles (imitates), the younger one, sitting, “draws in the sand.”
Junior: (getting up and addressing the older one): Why does our teacher at school speak Greek all the time? I heard him speak Slavic perfectly in the shop.
Senior. So it's in the shop. And at school you can only speak Greek. Because knowledge, books – everything comes from the Greeks.
Younger. Why don’t the Slavs have their own books?
Senior. Because you can’t write in Slavic.
Younger. How is this? And I’ll take it and write “HOME”. (Draws in the sand with a stick).
Senior. And “I LIVE IN A HOUSE” can no longer be written, because there is no such letter “F”, and there is no “I” either.
Junior: But you can invent them. After all, if words can be pronounced, then they can be written down. All you need is some signs.
Senior. Some won't fit. Language is a whole system. There can be nothing accidental about it.
Younger. But if you try anyway. Like this, for example. (Draws on the sand). Let this be I. But this is J.
The teacher appears on the stage. He hears the boys talking.
Younger. Teacher, look, we are making new letters!
Teacher. Don't you know that only cultural languages are worthy of parchment - Latin and Greek. All other languages are rude and barbaric, and you cannot write in them! Anyone who wants to learn to write must learn Greek.
Senior: Teacher! But it is said: “The light of Christ enlightens everyone”! All people are children of God and deserve enlightenment.
Teacher. Yes, but if you start translating the sacred books into the barbaric dialects of the pagans, their meaning, which is the Word of God, may be distorted. Let them learn Greek better, and through knowledge strengthen their faith.
Younger. But learning languages takes a lot of time. And there are so few teachers. Now, if only we could give people books to read in their native language.
Senior. This must strengthen their faith...
Teacher. Yes, but it will take a new alphabet, a new spelling and many, many years to translate all the books. In the entire empire there are hardly any learned men capable of such work. You need to be God's chosen one to cope with such a task. (Addressing the audience, loudly) Who will take on this? (Changes intonation). Come on, it's time for us to start our lesson! (Deleted)
Greek music begins to sound. The elder, looking back, goes after him. The lighting gradually becomes paler. Only the youngest boy at the front of the stage is brightly lit. He silently looks forward, as if peering into the future. The music gets louder. Then the light goes out.
ENDS OF SCENSES.
The presenter asks questions:
1. Who were these boys that we just saw on stage?
2. In what country were they born, in what city, in what century?
3. In what country did their translation activities begin and what is this country called now?
4. Which book was the first to come from the pen of the first teachers?
5. Who else repeated the feat of St. Equal to the Apostles Cyril and Methodius for peoples who do not have their own written language. When was this?
If travelers find it difficult to answer, they look in the BASKET OF KNOWLEDGE for an envelope with the corresponding inscription of the sketch, open it and read out the answer.
They do this after every scene!
SCENE 2. In the printing house of Ivan Fedorov. Moscow. 1564
There are two people in one corner of the stage. They rearrange stacks of sheets. From the other end, a boy runs out from behind the backstage. Suddenly he stops, trying to see the PRINTING YARD sign.
Boy. What's that there?
1 adult. Come in and see for yourself.
Boy. (approaches cautiously. Examines). Wow! And what will it happen!
2 adults. There will be a book.
Boy. (incredulously). Book? Books are written with pen and ink, but here are some pillars and boards.
1 adult. And we cast letters from tin, and then stack them one on top of the other and print them. So the pages come out.
Boy. Can I touch the letter?
2 adults. Do you understand how to read and write? Well, take the letter with which your name begins.
Boy (takes out the letter M). Behold, Think my letter will be!
1 adult. And what is your name?
Boy. I am the son of the cooper Yakov Kazarin. Teach me how to add letters like this. I can help you. Are you going to type a new sheet now?
2 adults. Do we really print one at a time? We make a lot of the same things at once. Today we are finishing work - new books will appear! (points to stacks of books)
1 adult. You, brother, wait! I want to print the Primer! *For the benefit of the Russian people!* So that every home has its own book to teach children.(** Inscription on the primer)
Boy. And my brothers and I will have our own primer?!
2 adults. The time will come - it will definitely happen! (loudly, addressing the audience, holding a large book in his hands) But remember today - the first book in Rus' was published! The spotlight is on the center of the stage.
The lights go out. Music.
ENDS OF SCENSES.
Presenter's questions:
Who was on stage before us?
What day did Ivan Fedorov ask you to remember?
What book was finished that day?
SCENE 3 Reform of the alphabet of Peter 1
There is a bench and a table on the stage.
Grandfather. Everything is wrong these days! If you look at the man first - a beard, a sable fur coat, you can immediately see that he is a boyar. (Comically) And now – the face is naked, the dress is too short. You won’t understand whether it’s a merchant or someone else. It would be nice if they walked around like that themselves, or even dress up their children.
Boy (reading). Ours - Is - NOT, Buki - He is BO, SKY...
Father enters.
Grandfather. (grumpily) Boyar, but he works like a simple artisan, before these ships did not exist - and nothing, they lived.
Father: Andrey, I brought you a book.
Grandfather. What kind of book is this? He hasn’t even read the entire Book of Hours yet.
Father: Dad, he’ll have time to read it. (Hands it to his son who runs up) Here you go, son!
Son. (reads slowly) G-e-o-m-e-t-r-i-ya. (Points finger at page). What is this?
Father: These are numbers to represent numbers. Maybe now you’ll go to a navigation school. Russia needs learned people.
Grandfather: (looks into the book). What kind of numbers are these? From time immemorial in Rus', numbers were written in letters. Az - one. Lead - two. What's bad?
Boy (joyfully) Grandpa, it’s easier this way! You can immediately see where the number is and where the word is written!
Grandfather (continuing to peer, with bitterness): And the words, the words! E-eh!
Boy. (comforting) Of course, grandfather, these letters are not so beautiful, but they are simple! They are easier to write.
Grandfather: Everything would be easier for you!
Father. (Addressing the audience). We will learn sciences with new letters! (Puts his hand on his son’s shoulder.) Really, son?
Music. The lights go out.
ENDS OF SCENSES.
Presenter's questions:
What moment in the history of the Russian state is now before us? Time? Board? Event?
Which book was the first to be printed in the new civil alphabet?
What letters was the Russian Academy of Sciences forced to return to the Russian alphabet in that 18th century?
Scene 4. Alphabet reform 1918. In the printing house.
There are two people on stage (a master and an apprentice). They put things in order that someone has scattered (boxes, drawers, etc.).
Master. Well, they've finally cleared out. There was so much noise! They threatened us with a revolver. Hand over, they say, unnecessary letters!
Journeyman. Why are they “unnecessary”?
Master. Yes, listen... (Takes the Izvestia newspaper and reads the maternity leave):
“In order to free the school from unproductive labor (makes an expressive pause, raises his face):
Eliminate the letter t (yat) and then replace it with e
Eliminate the letter A (fita) and replace it with f.
Eliminate the letter B (and decimal) and replace it with and.
Eliminate the letter ъ (er) at the end of words (Silent pause).
Journeyman. How are we going to type the “Ads” section tomorrow? “ANNOUNCEMENTS”, or what? After all, all the solid signs were taken away.
Master. (sadly, confused) Yes, Vedomosti was already printed with an apostrophe. Well, okay, go to bed, there’s a lot of work tomorrow.
They lie down on the benches and fall asleep. “Magic” music sounds.
In the corner, a motionless pile of letters comes to life. They get up and go to the front of the stage.
Izhitsa (small, with a thin voice, shakes her head): I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! (Changes intonation) Lord, what is going on?! Expelled!? Well, even under Emperor Peter the Great they tried to expel me, but they couldn’t do without me, so the Academy of Sciences reinstated me! Because without Izhitsa, how can you distinguish mi1r from mv1ra? And who will be the “urban bearers”? Again, how should we correctly understand the saying “We are all tarred with the same brush”?
And decimal. (very thin, speaks with dignity). And under Peter the Great they left me alone, without a sister (points to the letter I, which is standing frowning). And now they argued and argued about who was better, and they did the opposite.
And octal. (plump, phlegmatic). But again, as before, they wanted to leave their sister, she, they say, is thinner (comically spreads her arms, showing her fullness. And at the same time, the tenth one sadly straightens her thin shoulders). Let's save paper, they say! (With sarcasm) The whole 1 percent!
And decimal. Eh, Count Tolstoy was not there! Go, now tell the difference between “War and Peace” by Lev Nikolaevich and “War and Peace” by Mayakovsky?!
Fita. (Solemnly, with pathos, in Greek) “Pistevo is ena feon patera...” (Changes intonation) Are the people shaking in vain? In European languages there is so much more: different letters convey the same sounds, and even several consonants in a row. But no one dares to change the spelling, but with us, with us! (With pain). One word, atheists!
Yat. What is this happening now? Will donkey and ostl write the same now? How can we now distinguish the noun mtl from the verb mel? What about case endings? (Turns to the audience, speaks drawlingly) Oh, and our schoolchildren are suffering with unstressed vowels!
The same music sounds. The lights go out.
ENDS OF SCENSES.
Presenter's questions:
1.What time does this scene date from? What events happened then?
2. What world did the letter Izhitsa talk about, who are the myrrh-bearers and what does the saying “Anointed with the same world” mean?
3. What world are we talking about in the title of Tolstoy’s novel and Mayakovsky’s poem?
What languages did the letter Fita speak and what did she quote?
Host: Years have passed. People got used to the new spelling. And now in modern schools the full Cyrillic alphabet is studied. All over Rus', when schoolchildren sit down at their desks, they learn to read and write ancient letters. And their own experts have already appeared. Today some of them are on our stage. They will now receive a written assignment. They will have to read a text from an ancient book, which will be very difficult, since it is written in accordance with the ancient tradition without division into words.
Assistants take out text from an ancient book on a large sheet of paper. The travelers move off stage. While they are completing the task, a choir is invited to the stage.
Upon returning, travelers read the text.
Adult presenter: Our journey today has come to an end. Together with our heroes, we all visited different countries and cities and saw different events. Our travelers showed themselves to be true experts in Slavic culture and writing. And now comes the solemn moment of meeting with Her Majesty the Slavic Alphabet.
Solemn music sounds. Her Majesty the Slavic ABC appears. She makes a solemn speech and rewards the travelers.
The combined choir performs the hymn to the creators of the alphabet (Music by V.I. Hlavach, lyrics by M.P. Rozengeim).
Glory to you, brothers, enlighteners of the Slavs,
Slavic Church Holy Fathers!
Glory to you, teachers of the truth of Christ,
Glory to you, our creators of letters!
Be a link of unity for the Slavs,
Holy brothers: Methodius, Cyril!
May the spirit of reconciliation overshadow him
By your prayer before the Lord of hosts!
Final words from the presenter.

On May 24, on the day of remembrance of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Equal-to-the-Apostles, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. This holiday dates back to a church tradition that existed back in the 10th-11th centuries. Traditionally, this is one of the brightest national, patriotic holidays of the Slavic peoples.
With good reason we can talk about the uniqueness of this holiday. It represents a significant phenomenon in cultural and political life. An appeal to the origins of the national cultures of the Slavic peoples and their close interrelation emphasize the organic unity and at the same time the diversity of cultural traditions.
Almost twelve centuries separate us from the time when the great Slavic enlighteners Cyril and Methodius lived and worked. The first teachers not only translated the most important Christian books from ancient Greek into Slavic, but also raised a whole galaxy of students, from whom the tree of the great Slavic culture grew.
When holding the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, organizers and participants should set themselves the following goals and objectives:
Preservation of authentic language culture, fostering a caring attitude towards the history of the Russian language and national culture;
Development of the aesthetic sense of schoolchildren based on elements of traditional culture;
Development of interdisciplinary connections of all educational courses, the content of which allows solving the problems of spiritual and moral education of schoolchildren.
The starting point in creating a holiday scenario should be the alphabet itself. The history of its creation, as well as all the bright events from the life of the brothers Cyril and Methodius and their students and followers, is an essential and important part of the preparatory and festive program in the direction of studying Slavic literature and culture. Holiday format - dive in the era - allows you to organize a dialogue of cultures.
The festival program may also include the following competitions:
Fine art competition,
Folk costume competition,
Competition of folklore groups,
Competition of traditional Russian cuisine,
Children's writing competition,
Competition of notebooks in the Russian language.

The Solun brothers Cyril and Methodius are symbols of Slavic writing and culture. They created the first Slavic language ( Cyrillic alphabet), which later influenced the formation of the literary languages of many Slavic peoples. This language is usually called Old Church Slavonic in science.
In the 11th century, the Old Russian alphabet was formed on the basis of the Cyrillic alphabet. Russian alphabet- a completely unique phenomenon among all known methods of letter writing. What is the alphabet? What does this word mean? When did the first Russian alphabet appear? How the Russian alphabet developed and what reforms it underwent can be learned from second section exhibitions “Printed pages are a wondrous beginning”
. The result of the last major reform of writing in 1917-1918. was the emergence of the current Russian alphabet of 33 letters. Which letters have disappeared forever? Why did this happen? Readers will find answers to these questions by familiarizing themselves with the presented materials.

“The library is something like a magic cabinet. The best souls of humanity are enchanted there, but they are waiting for our word to emerge from their silence.” H.L. Borges
In Rus', the idea of forming a library belonged to Yaroslav the Wise
. Following the model of Constantinople, Yaroslav the Wise (1019-1054) built a new Kremlin and the Church of St. Sophia in Kyiv, and the library at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, founded presumably in 1037, is considered the first Russian library.
The first Russian works were treaties with the Greeks, princely charters, private acts (birch bark charters), and “boards” - trade documents. 
From their inception to the present day, libraries have come a difficult path. Their appearance has fundamentally changed. The book talks about this in detail B.F. Volodin “World History of Libraries” presented at the exhibition. The periods of development of Russian libraries are also reflected in this publication.
One of the subsections of the exhibition is dedicated to the history of the founding first library in our city.
