Saint Naum of Ohrid
Saint Naum of Ohrid was a 10th-century Christian missionary and scholar known for his role in spreading Christianity among the Slavic peoples. He was a disciple of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius, who created the Glagolitic alphabet, which laid the foundation for the Cyrillic script. Naum established a monastery near Lake Ohrid in present-day North Macedonia, where he contributed to the development of Slavic literature and education.
Naum is venerated as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. His feast day is celebrated on December 23. The monastery he founded remains a significant cultural and historical site, attracting visitors and pilgrims interested in his legacy.
