The life of St Nahum of Ochrid
After his teachers died and their disciples were driven out of Moravia, he made his way to Bulgaria, where he joined Clement of Ohrid in the work of teaching Slavic readers and copying Scripture and the services into their own tongue, helping to raise up a generation of clergy who no longer depended on a foreign language for worship.
When Clement was consecrated a bishop, Nahum took up the direction of the school by Lake Ohrid in his place, and later he founded a monastery of his own on the lake's shore, still known today as the Monastery of Saint Naum. He remained there in prayer and teaching until his repose at about eighty years of age, early in the tenth century. He was buried at the monastery he had built, which has drawn pilgrims ever since as a living memory of the mission he and his companions carried to the Slavic peoples.
