Quote:
Saint Naum of Preslav (c. 830 – December 23, 910) was a medieval Slavonic scholar, writer and teacher. According to the hagiography of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius by Saint Clement of Ohrid, Naum took part in their mission to Great Moravia and in 867 or 868 became a priest in Rome.
In 905 Naum founded a monastery at Lake Ohrid, which later received his name.
