Today, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates St. Naum of Ohrid. Naum was a medieval Bulgarian scholar and writer. He was born around 830 and died on December 23, 910. He was of noble origin but he left everything and followed the Slavic apostles St. Cyril and St. Methodius to Great Moravia and Rome, where Pope Adrian II ordained him a priest. After the death of St. Methodius, Naum, together with St. Clement of Ohrid, arrived in Bulgaria as a teacher of the Slavonic script. Naum is one of the founders of the Preslav Literary School.
The relics of St. Naum of Ohrid are located on the shore of Lake Ohrid in the Monastery of Saint Naum.
