History

Cyril and Methodius are figures associated with the Slavic Orthodox Church, they never had any cult in Hungary. Their statues were erected throughout the Carpathian Basin after the dismemberment of Hungary in 1920 as a symbol of Pan-Slavism. Their statues can also be found in Slovakia, despite the fact that the Slovaks belong to Western Christianity, precisely due to the establishment of the Kingdom of Hungary, and are mostly Roman Catholics.Their statues can also be found in Slovakia, despite the fact that the Slovaks belong to Western Christianity, precisely due to the establishment of the Kingdom of Hungary, and are mostly Roman Catholics.
