Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Clement of OhridOchrid''' was a ninth century [[missionary]] to Moravia and [[disciple]] of Ss. [[Cyril and Methodius]] who became Bishop of Ochrid (sometimes rendered "Ohrid"). His [[feast day]] is [[July 27]]. He is also commemorated on [[November 25]].
==Life==
St. Clement was the first hierarch of Bulgaria to serve, preach, and write in the Slavonic language. To this end he systematically prepared [[clergy]] from among the Slavic people. He labored for the glory of God into his old age. When his strength began to fail, and he was unable to fulfill his responsibilities in the [[cathedral]], he asked Tsar Simeon to let him retire. But, Simeon urged him to continue his episcopal duties, to which Clement agreed.
Later, Clement left for Ohrid Ochrid in Macedonia where he founded a [[monastery]]. There, he continued his translation activities and translated important parts of the [[Pentecostarion]] into Slavic. During 916, St. Clement became seriously ill and departed to the Lord. His body was placed in a coffin that he made with his own hands and was buried in the Monastery of St. Panteleimon which he founded at Ohrid.
Of the other members of his missionary group, the [[relics]] of Ss. Gorazd and Angelar rest near Berat in Albania, while the relics St. Naum are in the monastery bearing his name, near Lake OhridOchrid.
