Summary/Abstract: The paper raises the question of memory in and memory of the most famous Bulgarian literary work dedicated to St. St. Cyril and Methodius, that is the poem Cyril and Methodius by Stoyan Mihaylovski (1892). The aim is to trace the complex fate of the work in Bulgarian culture in two additional contexts: the role of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition in modern Bulgarian culture and the place of Mihaylovski in the canon of Bulgarian literature. The starting point is the research on the topic by a Polish expert in the field of Bulgarian studies, Grażyna Szwat-Gyłybowa. The methodological framework is based on the concepts of Aleida and Jan Assmann, as well as Astrid Erll, as the idea is to unfold the hermeneutic potential of the category of a medium of memory. The analysis of the hymn Cyril and Methodius, in terms of both the history of its reception and the function of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition, problematizes its status as a cultural text, and contribute to the question of the religious in the discourse of the Bulgarian cultural and scientific elites.
