The two most successful Byzantine missionaries were Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. They were two brothers who were missionaries among the Slavs. They preached in Great Moravia (a West Slavic state, which at the time was the most powerful state in central Europe) and Pannonia (eastern Austria and western Hungary) in the 9th century. They greatly influenced all Slavs and were given the title of "Apostles to the Slavs". They created the Glagolitic alphabet, the first Slavic alphabet, and developed Old Church Slavonic, the first Slavic literary language which standardised the Slavonic language and which they used to translate The Bible and other Greek ecclesiastical texts. They created the foundations for the Christianisation of the Slavic peoples. In the Orthodox Church they are saints and have the title of "equal-to-apostles."

What was Russia's connection with the eastern Roman Empire?
One connection between the Eastern Roman Empire (which historians also call Byzantine Empire) and Russia was the conversion of Russia to Orthodox Christianity (the religion of the Byzantine Empire) by Byzantine missionaries. This religion became Russia's religion in 989. The other connection was royal marriage. Soon after the fall of the Byzantine Empire and the capture of its capital, Constantinople, by the Ottoman Turks, Ivan III of Russia, who had married Sophia Paleologue, a niece of Constantine XI, the last Byzantine emperor, claimed that he was the heir of the fallen Empire. The Russians also saw themselves as the upholders of the religion of the Byzantine Empire, which had been taken over by the Muslim Turks. In 1501 a Russian monk, Filofey, wrote an ode to Ivan's successor, Vasili III, in which he said that: "Two Romes have fallen [Rome and Constantinople]. The third stands. And there will be no fourth. No one shall replace your Christian Tsardom!" The Russians called Russia the "Third Rome."

What are different missionaries who came in the country of the Philippines?
Out of the many sects of the Christians church there are only two groups of missionaries that ever came to the Phillipines. By far and away the most numerous were Catholic missionaries. There were also a small group of Evangelical missionaries who came to the Phillipines aswell. The Catholic missionaries were much more successful than the Evangelical missionaries in converting people to their religion. In proof of this the vast majority of Phillipinos are Catholic with only a very small minority of Evangelical Christians to this very day. A specific mention must be made to doctrine. The Catholics taught the Phillipinos that everyone in the bible was white - whereas the Evangelicals taught their converts that a small minority of people in the bible were coloured. Phillipinos are noted for their chinese appearance.
