The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 10th century so that the newly christened inhabitants of the First Bulgarian Empire could write religious texts in an alphabet much better suited for their Slavic language. The Greek language had far fewer sounds than the Slavic dialects of the time, thus the Greek alphabet could not properly accommodate a Slavic language. Later, when other Slavic peoples converted to Christianity, they adopted this new Slavic alphabet.
