圣基里尔和圣麦托迪是亲兄弟,他们出生于德撒洛尼基一个富有显赫的家庭中,父亲是莱翁,母亲是玛利亚。兄长麦托迪曾经在马其顿的斯拉夫人当中作军官10年的时间,因此他懂得斯拉夫语。之后,麦托迪隐退到了奥林普斯山,并使自己在那里潜心修行。后来基里尔(君士坦丁)也步入兄长的后尘。当哈扎尔国王哈根在位期间向米加勒三世要求派遣基督传教士,他们找到了这二位兄弟,并将他们派遣到哈扎尔。这二位兄弟最终说服了哈根国王信奉基督,并连同国王以及大批国王的朝臣和子民进行施浸,皈依基督。一段时间之后,他们返回了君士坦丁堡,在那里,他们编纂了一个拥有38个字母的斯拉夫字母表,并着手将希腊文圣经翻译成斯拉夫文。在拉斯蒂斯拉夫王子的请求下,他们来到了摩拉维亚,在那里,他们传播并坚定当地的基督信仰、编辑书籍,并将这些书分发给当地的司祭,以教导年轻人。在教宗的请求下,基里尔来到了罗马,后来他在罗马病逝,于公元867年2月14日返回天国。麦托迪返回了摩拉维亚,在斯拉夫人当中增强他们的信仰,直到去世。麦托迪于官员885年4月6日离世,在他去世之后,他的五个门徒同圣克雷盟特一同穿越多瑙河南下到马其顿,从奥赫里德开始向斯拉夫人传讲基督福音,继续圣基里尔和圣麦托迪在北部开始的宣讲福音的工作。
