May
Saints Cyril and Methodius Day, celebrated on May 24, honors two brothers who lived a long time ago. They are remembered for creating a special alphabet, called the Glagolitic alphabet, to help people read and write in their own language. This made it easier for people in Eastern Europe to learn about their religion and culture. The brothers are seen as heroes in many countries like Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and others. This day is like a big thank you for their hard work in making learning fun and important for everyone in their time.
