Have you ever wondered about Cyrillic and its origins or what it looks like? Below you can read the story, and see the original symbols and the ones we're using today (FYI the transition between the two happened very early in its creation)

Today is a special public holiday for us in Bulgaria, the birth of our alphabet. The two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, created our alphabet in the IX century. They are both regarded as the country’s patrons of education and culture. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron saints of Europe.   The Cyrillic alphabet is used today in 12 Slavic countries in Eastern Europe and Northern and Central Asia, as well as in non-Slavic countries, such as Mongolia, which adopted it in the 1940s.   Celebrate with us :)
