Summary edit

Description The words carved on this wall are written in the Glagolitic script. The origin of the Glagolitic alphabet is obscure, but generally attributed to Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius, two Greek brothers who were went to Great Moravia (a Slavic state in the 9th and 10th centuries that included regions that today are parts of Hungary, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, and Germany) in 862 to spread Christianity. Use of the script was almost entirely replaced by the development of the Cyrillic alphabet and the propagation of the Roman alphabet during the Middle Ages, but lingered on in pockets of Croatia into the 14th century.
