Saint Methodius
When I first saw this I said "look the Methodists have thier own saint."Not really. However, It seems St. Methodius and his brother (also a saint) Cyril were "apostles and teachers of the Rusyn people."
"St. Methodius, whose baptismal name was Michael, was born in 815 A.D. His younger brother Constantine, better known by his religious name, Cyril, was born about ten years later. They both studied at the Imperial School of Constantinople, where all the children of the higher imperial officials received their advanced education. St. Methodius, known as a good administrator, became the governor (Gr. archon) of the Strymon District of Macedonia. St. Cyril, a gifted scholar, assumed a teaching post at the Imperial School."
What would John Wesley think?
