Yes, Cyril and Methodius (brother from Solun-Greece) came on the Big Moravia (today southern Moravia and western Slovakia) in 863 year. They taught and inculcated in old slavonic. That is why old cyrillic. Finally latin liturgy (from west) prevailed and conseguently latin calligraphy use in Czech republic (cyrillic alphabet not). 5.6. ( the coming of C+M) is State high day in Czech republic.
I don´t know what I can write about Prague. Prague in 2013 is another than in 1985. It isn´t so grey, buildings and their roofs are made good- the look from Prague castle is beautiful.
