Macedonian Culture (Slavic)
Macedonian culture is the culture of the ethnic Macedonian population of the Balkan region, known in the 20th century as Vardar Macedonia or the current Republic of Macedonia. Old Church Slavonic, developed in the 9th century AD by the Byzantine Greek missionaries, Saints Cyril and Methodius from the Byzantine theme of Thessalonica (modern-day Thessaloniki, Greece), led to the creation of the modern writing systems for the Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian languages, all based on the modern Cyrillic alphabet.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
