Have you ever wondered about Cyrillic and its origins or what it looks like? Below you can read the story, and see the original symbols and the ones we're using today (FYI the transition between the two happened very early in its creation)
Today is a special public holiday for us in Bulgaria, the birth of our alphabet. The two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, created our alphabet in the IX century. They are both regarded as the country’s patrons of education and culture. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron saints of Europe. The Cyrillic alphabet is used today in 12 Slavic countries in Eastern Europe and Northern and Central Asia, as well as in non-Slavic countries, such as Mongolia, which adopted it in the 1940s. Celebrate with us :)

Honor has a disposition. Honor has its peculiar attributes and uniqueness. Honor comes with a silent realization of value and public communication of respect for the value. You are designed to honor the dignity of humanity. Beyond this, you are to honor some special people because of the roles that they play in your life. Honor will never be forgotten. Honor never forgets. Honor has sound memories and sound judgment. Honor attracts honor. Honor attracts favor. Honor attracts blessings. Genuine honor for the sacredness of human lives brings development. May you communicate honor, and may you receive honor. You are honorable.

#Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States, commemorating the emancipation of the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. This historic day serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of my ancestors, whose perseverance and courage paved the way for future generations. As a Southern Black woman from Houston Texas, I am deeply proud of my heritage, which profoundly influences my identity and values. The legacy of my ancestors is a constant source of inspiration, motivating me to honor their sacrifices and contributions through my work and everyday actions. Understanding the depth of my roots instills in me a sense of responsibility to continue their legacy of resilience and resistance. Their stories of struggle and triumph shape my worldview and fuel my passion for justice and equality. From the plantations of the South to the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement, their journey is intertwined with the broader narrative of American #History—a narrative of resilience in the face of adversity, and triumph against all odds. This profound connection to my heritage drives me to uplift and empower others within my community, ensuring that their voices are heard and their stories are celebrated. It inspires me to advocate for systemic change and to fight against injustices that continue to impact marginalized communities today. In celebrating Juneteenth, we honor not only the end of slavery but also the ongoing struggle for true freedom and equality for all. Together, we continue the legacy of resilience and resistance, forging a path towards a future where justice and opportunity are accessible to every person, regardless of race or background.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the enduring struggle for freedom and equality. This day is not just a historical milestone but a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey towards justice for all. Juneteenth, now recognized as a federal holiday, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and the relentless pursuit of liberty for all races. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. poignantly stated, other races "Have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny." These words underscore the interconnectedness of our freedoms and the shared responsibility to ensure that equality is not just an ideal but a reality for all. Let us honor Juneteenth by acknowledging the spirit of unity and the promise of freedom for every individual. ✊🏽🎉 #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EndOfSlavery #EqualityForAll #HumanRights #JusticeForAll #Unity #CivilRights #FederalHoliday #EmbraceFreedom

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally/internationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas, a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society. General Order Number 3 One of General Granger’s first orders of business was to read to the people of Texas, General Order Number 3 which began most significantly with: "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer." General Gordon Granger, June 19th 1865 in Galveston, Texas
