Summary/Abstract: The cult of Cyril and Methodius after the restoration of the Bulgarian State in the late 12th c. is considered in the article. Based on the analysis of same well-known and repeatedly examined sources – the Encomium of Cyril and Methodius and Boril’s Synodikon (1211), the Short Life of Cyril – Cyril’s Assumption (1255), as well as some less known and unused sources – a chant from the copy of the service of Constantine-Cyril the Philosopher from the Skopje Menologion (13th c ), some pieces of information in the Serbian chronicles, a Serbian “glorification” (15th c.) and particularly the so-called Legend of the Translation of the Holy Scripture from Hilendar Monastery, an attempt is made to clarify the question of the ideological contents of the cult and define its place in the ideological system of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom.
