EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Statue of St. Cyril and St. Methodius, two brothers who played a pivotal role in the Christianization of the Slavic peoples in the 9th century. The statue, sculpted by the renowned Czech artist Karel Dvorak between 1928 and 1939, is a decorative masterpiece that graces the iconic Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. The brothers, Cyril and Methodius, were missionaries from Thessaloniki, Greece, who are credited with bringing Christianity to the Slavic peoples. They are considered the patrons of the Slavs and the protectors of the Slavic languages. The statue depicts the brothers in contemporary attire, with Cyril holding a cross and a book, symbolizing the spread of Christianity and knowledge, while Methodius holds a staff topped with a globe, symbolizing the spread of the Slavic language and culture. The statue is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Prague and the Czech Republic. It stands as a reminder of the brothers' enduring impact on the region and their role in shaping the religious and cultural landscape of Europe. The intricate details of the statue, captured in this photograph, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Karel Dvorak and the enduring beauty of the statue as a work of 20th-century art.
