Behold, my brother, we have shared the same destiny, ploughing the same furrow; I now fall in the field at the end of my day. I know that you greatly love your Mountain; but do not for the sake of the Mountain give up your work of teaching. (St. Cyril – on his deathbed – to St. Methodius)

However tired and physically worn out I am, I will go with joy to that land; with joy I depart for the sake of the Christian faith - Saint Cyril
