Summary:
St. Cyril and St. Methodius are mounted on the front facade of a church about five feet above the ground. Each saint is bearded and dressed in a full-length robe. They each hold a staff topped by a cross in their proper right hand. Saint Cyril holds the top of a tablet-like object with his proper left hand. Flames rise up from the ground around the base of the object. Hooded Saint Methodius holds a book in his proper left hand.
