On the occasion of Europe Day and the Open Doors Day at the Chapel for Europe, we warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibition:

“CYRIL AND METHODIUS: Men of Dialogue”
When: May 9 at 15:00
Where: Chapel for Europe, Rue Van Maerlant 22/24, 1040 Etterbeek

This exhibition, prepared in collaboration with the Together4Europe network, highlights two great spiritual and cultural figures of Europe. Saints Cyril and Methodius, brothers from Thessaloniki in the 9th century, were missionaries sent to the Slavic peoples. They are best known for creating the Glagolitic alphabet, which made it possible to translate liturgical texts into local languages, thus opening new paths for dialogue between cultures, languages, and traditions. Their legacy has deeply shaped European history, and today they are honoured as co-patrons of Europe and as patron saints in many European countries.

Their message resonates strongly at the heart of the European Quarter: a call to unity in diversity, to dialogue among peoples, and to mutual understanding across cultures.

Before or after the vernissage, take time to enjoy the Open Doors Day (11:00 to 17:00): visit the Chapel, pause for a coffee or tea, and learn more about our mission as a space for prayer, reflection, and dialogue and our programme. Click HERE for more information.

Join us in celebrating Europe Day through art, history, and encounter!

You can visit the exhibition during the Chapel’s opening hours, Monday to Thursday from 12:00 to 14:00 until the summer closing of the Chapel.
