If we undertake an approximate counting on the most frequently used word over the last week, it will definitely come up to be something about the Bulgarian letters, the Cyrillic alphabet, the next language to add to the EU's lingua officia, etc. Whatever the context, few would associate it with its origin - the name of a humble man, a monk, an enlightener, a traveler, a civilisator, a saint. The life and deeds of St Cyril and his brother St Methodius has once been another apple of discord among the Balkan nations - now so puzzled and scattered within the state boundaries, once so free in mind and open to knowledge. The Cyrillic something will definitely have its revival in Europe, when Bulgaria enters the bloc. But it should not become a synonym of Bulgaria alone - because the timeless message the Brother Saints has sent through the centuries is that language and culture know no limits, least state boundaries. We, Bulgarians, are proud to be the cultural missile to open the window looking into a world where all kinds of religions read and write in the same alphabet - the Cyrillic.
