Bovec, 24. October 2026
You are invited to the lecture Konstantin and Methodius: life, work and their importance for Slovenians , which will be held at the Bovec Cultural Centre on Saturday , 24. in October, at 20.00. The lecture will be led by students of history and slovenistics Vid Kovacic and history and philosophy Tevz Crnic.
Constantine and Methodius were sent from Thessalonica to Moravia in 863 to establish the foundation for a new bishopric there. Although the newly established Archdiocese of Pannonia was short – lived after seven years of hard work, the brothers nevertheless went down in history for their monumental work in translating church works into the Slavic language and inventing the first Slavic script-Glagolitic.
The lecture will be divided into three parts. The first will focus on the life and work of the brothers and their activities before the expedition, with complications from work in Moravia until the death of both brothers. The second will devote himself to the papal attitude towards them – why the patriarch of Rome from the beginning was not in favor of the idea of a new Archdiocese – what has changed and why. At the same time, special attention will be paid to the letter of Hadrian II., in which he allegedly approved the Slavic liturgy. The third will be devoted to the influence and existence of the Glagolitic movement in Slovenian – whether the Glagolitic people are in 15. and 16. in the middle of the XIX century, did they also operate on our territory?

Vabljeni na predavanje Konstantin in Metod: življenje, delo in njun pomen za Slovence , ki bo v Kulturnemu domu Bovec , v soboto, 24. oktobra, ob 20.00. Predavanje bosta vodila študenta zgodovine in slovenistike Vid Kovačič ter zgodovine in filozofije Tevž Črnič.
Konstantin in Metod sta bila leta 863 poslana iz Soluna na Moravsko, da bi tam vzpostavila temelje za novo škofijo. Čeprav je bila novoustanovljena Panonska nadškofija po sedmih letih garanja zgolj kratkotrajna, sta se brata vendarle zapisala v zgodovino zaradi svojega monumentalnega dela pri prevajanju cerkvenih del v slovanski jezik in iznajdbi prve slovanske pisave – glagolice.
Predavanje bo razdeljeno na tri dele. Prvi se bo osredotočil na življenje in delo bratov in njuno delovanje pred odpravo, z zapleti pri delu na Moravskem vse do smrti obeh bratov. Drugi se bo posvetil papeškem odnosu do njiju – zakaj rimski patriarh od začetka ni bil naklonjen ideji nove nadškofije – kaj se je spremenilo in zakaj. Ob tem bo posebna pozornost namenjena pismu Hadrijana II., v katerem naj bi odobril slovansko bogoslužje. Tretji pa bo namenjen vplivu in obstoju glagoljaškega gibanja na Slovenskem – ali so glagoljaši v 15. in 16. stoletju delovali tudi na našem ozemlju?
