Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

Slovak countrymen have been officially marking the Day of Slovaks Living Abroad on Sts Cyril and Methodius Day since 1993. Sts Cyril and Methodius, also known as the patrons of Europe, play an important part in the old Slavic culture. In 863, they began the task of translating the Bible into the language now known as Old Church Slavonic and travelled to Great Moravia to promote it. Nonetheless, these Apostles to the Slavs have quite a few churches dedicated to them also in the United States and Canada. On the special show we will also talk about the new cooperation between the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library with Slovak institutions.
