Celebrating Legends, Folklore & Spirituality 365 Days A Year for Feb. 20th

Mesrop Ma tots

 

This day celebrates the birth of Mesrop Ma tots, a missionary to the remoter parts of his native Armenia who, in order to provide his countrymen with books in their own language, invented a 36-letter alphabet(still used today with the addition of a few extra letters). He is also credited with inventing the 38-letter Georgian alphabet.
