On November 25, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honours the memory of St. Clement of Ohrid – a distinguished archbishop, teacher and scholar. He was among the most prominent disciples of the brothers Cyril and Methodius, the Holy Seven Apostles – the first teachers of the Bulgarians. After the death of St. Methodius (885 AD) and their expulsion from Great Moravia, the Holy Seven Apostles came to Bulgaria. Tsar Boris welcomed them and entrusted them with educating the people.
Clement was the founder of the Ohrid Literary School comprising 3,050 students. In 896, Tsar Simeon appointed him as bishop of Drembica (Velica), a diocese that included Ohrid. St Clement passed away in 916. St. Clement of Ohrid is the patron saint of Bulgaria's oldest higher education institution-Sofia University.
