Christianization of the Slavs
The
Slavs
were
Christianized
in waves from the 7th to 12th century. Generally speaking, the monarchs of the
South Slavs
adopted Christianity in the 9th century, the
East Slavs
in the 10th, and the
West Slavs
between the 9th and 12th century.
Saints Cyril and Methodius
( 860–885) are attributed as "Apostles to the Slavs", having introduced the
Byzantine-Slavic rite
(
Old Slavonic
liturgy) and
Glagolitic alphabet
, the oldest known Slavic alphabet and basis for the
Early Cyrillic alphabet
.
