Methodius's disciples carry Slavonic learning into Bulgaria
About this date: The range follows the expulsion tradition and Clement's teaching before his episcopate in 893; individual journeys are not precisely dated.
Disciples of Methodius find new patrons after pressure on the Slavonic mission in Moravia. Clement and his companions develop teaching and liturgical translation in Bulgarian lands.
Historical context
The relocation gives the earlier translation project new institutions, trained clergy, and readers. It helps explain why Slavonic church culture outlasts the disruption of its Moravian setting.
