Summary/Abstract: The fact that N. Rainov shows interest in the characters of St. Cyril and St. Methodius and their deeds as first teachers-apostles is unknown and unexplored up to this moment. He even writes a book called “The Saint Brothers”. The following research looks at two stories by Rainov – “The Even Apostles” and “Brothers”, as well as the interpretations of the paintings of Nicholas Pavlovich that are related exactly to this motif. In them, N. Rainov manages to “catch” different aspects of the shown Bulgarian myths about St. Cyril and St. Methodius and gives them additional connotation in his stories as well as in his artisan works. His method is unordinary and unique.
