From the the Liturgy of the Hours, Vol. III, page 1377: "Saint Cyril was born in Thessalonica and educated in Constantinople. He accompnied his brother Methodius to Moravia to preach the (Christian) faith. They both prepared Slavic liturgical texts in what would be subsequently be known as the Cyrillic alphabet. Both were summoned to Rome, where Cyril died on February 14, 869, while Methodius was consecrated bishop and went to Pannonia where he tirelessly preached the Gospel. Though suffering much from detractors, he received assistance from the Roman Pontiffs. Methodius died on April 6, 855 in Velehrad, Czechoslovakia."
