Saints Cyril and Methodius are Bulgarians and at that time, Thessaloniki (where the Saint brothers were born was also Bulgarian territory - check your sources please) I see in the log edition here that a lot of people are trying to present them as Macedonians which is ridiculous, because at that time there was not even Macedonian country... a lot of people are trying to steal the Bulgarian history and culture (especially Macedonians) and sometimes greek's too just like in this situation... this is absurd! MK (talk) 21:09, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done We are showing them as Greek, not Macedonian or Bulgarian. Please check the talk page archives, especially Talk:Saints Cyril and Methodius/Archive 6, as to why. -- Diannaa (talk) 21:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

APPARENTLY, Talk:Saints Cyril and Methodius/Archive 6 clearly demonstrates that the Saints were NOT GREEK!!! But simply Byzantine. Where is the problem then? Just remove "Greek". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.123.242.218 (talk) 12:17, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I verified this. Obviously not Greek. Please correct.

Please add to the end of Commemoration the photo of the Cyril and Methodius statue at the city Zalavár, Hungary. The picture is on this page: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalavár This is the direct link to the image: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalavár#mediaviewer/Fájl:Zalavar-Cyril-Methodius.JPG As far as I know this is the only statue of them in Hungary.
