On July 27 the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates St Martyr and Healer Panteleimon and the Seven Saints (known as Sveti Sedmochislenitsi). Saint Panteleimon was highly honored in the First Bulgarian Kingdom, which is proved by the fact that two monasteries in Preslav and Ohrid were named after this saint. Traditionally, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors on this day seven Slavic enlighteners: Saints Cyril and Methodius, Kliment (Clement of Ohrid), Naum, Sava, Gorazd and Angelarius, known as Sveti Sedmochislenitsi.
