The solemnity will take place on 25-26 May in the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, where the Slavonic liturgy of brothers Cyril and Methodius was approved and authorized, and in the Basilica of St. Clement, where St. Cyril is buried. The program will include a Eucharistic celebration and a concert by the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra from Zlín and the Hradistan Band.
