Moravian flags fly from 1230 town halls

Moravian flags were displayed on Tuesday from the town halls of 1230 local councils in the region to mark the arrival of saints Cyril and Methodius in Grand Moravia in 863. The total is around 100 more than took part in the initiative last year. The initiative was launched seven years ago. There are around 1900 councils in Moravia, meaning that most took part. Cyril and Methodius are credited with bringing Christianity to the region.
