Slovaks were gradually inspired by the Cyril-Methodist veneration in Moravia, where annual conventions were held in Velehrad, which made it possible to spread Cyril-Methodist ideas and unionism. Veneration of St. Cyril and Methodius began to develop more intensively in Slovakia only after 1921, after the consecration of the first Catholic bishops, who came from Slovakia. Devín Castle became the center of this cult. In the first half of the 20th century, the Košice diocese was headed by two important bishops – Augustín Fischer-Colbrie and Jozef Čársky. As a bishop, Jozef Čársky (of Slovak origin) was intensively involved in developing Cyril-Methodist veneration, which enabled him to mobilize his diocese for many pastoral activities such as: associations, celebrations, congresses, lectures, collections, homilies, pilgrimages, church constructions, and others. Thanks to the pastoral activities of these bishops, the Košice diocese not only preserved Cyril-Methodist veneration, but also developed and expanded itCirilmetodijska tradicija se na ozemlju današnje Slovaške pred letom 1918 ni mogla razvijati nemoteno – za madžarske politične in cerkvene elite je namreč pomenila nevarnost panslavizma. Sčasoma je Slovake začelo navdihovati češčenje Cirila in Metoda v Velehradu na Moravskem, kjer so letna srečanja omogočila širjenje cirilmetodijskih idej in združevalnih prizadevanj. Češčenje sv. Cirila in Metoda se je na Slovaškem začelo intenzivneje razvijati šele po letu 1921 – po posvetitvi prvih katoliških škofov iz Slovaške. Središče češčenja je postal grad Devín. V prvi polovici 20. stoletja sta škofijo Košice vodila dva pomembna škofa: Augustín Fischer-Colbrie in Jozef Čársky. Jozef Čársky – slovaškega porekla – se je kot škof v razvoj češčenja sv. Cirila in Metoda intenzivno vključil, kar mu je omogočilo, da je svojo škofijo mobiliziral za številne pastoralne dejavnosti, kot so združenja, slovesnosti, kongresi, predavanja, zbiranja, pridige, romanja, gradnja cerkva in drugo. Zahvaljujoč pastoralnim dejavnostim teh škofov je košiška škofija češčenje Cirila in Metoda ne le ohranila, temveč ga je tudi razvila in razširilaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
