The Holy Naum Naum Ohridski or even Naum Preslawski (Cyrillic Наум Охридски or Наум Преславски ) called, lived at the turn of the 9th to 10th century (c. 830, † 910, buried in Monastery of Saint Naum in Ohrid, Macedonia). He was a disciple of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius and how they participate in the creation of the Old Church Slavonic written language. Along with St. Kliment of Ohrid he was one of those monks who supported Methodius in his mission in Great Moravia.

874 changed the Moravian prince Kocel his political orientation, turned away from Konstantin Opel and sought contacts with the West. Naum and the other students of Constantine and Methodius came into conflict with the Latin missionaries who came to Moravia and preaching in Latin (and not in Slavic ) language gave the preference. After the death of his Methods 885 students were expelled and took refuge in the kingdom of Bulgarian Tsar Boris I.

To back the Byzantine influence on his state, Boris I was interested in the establishment of the Slavic language in worship. Under Kliment and Naums line two famous schools were founded - the school of Ohrid, which Kliment worked, and the School of Preslav, where initially Naum worked (hence his nickname Preslawski ). In the two schools was taught as Old Church Slavonic liturgical language.

Towards the end of the 9th century St. Naum worked jointly with Saint Kliment of Ohrid I of the Tsar Boris I and Simeon deployed in the region of Ohrid.

Besides the construction of churches and monasteries, both saints devoted to the training of Slavic and clerics developed from Ohrid an ecclesiastical and cultural center. The School of Ohrid produced a large part of the Old Bulgarian literature.
