On November 25, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church mark the memory of the great Bulgarian clergyman and educator St. Clement, Archbishop of Ohrid. He is also known as one of the students of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, and together with Naum, Angelarius, Gorazd and Sava, he spread the alphabet in the Bulgarian lands. It is no coincidence that the saint was chosen as a patron of the first university in Bulgaria - Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski”, which today celebrated its patron saint's day with a liturgy in the chapel of the Faculty of Theology.

In honor of the Bulgarian saint, festive liturgies were held in all dioceses of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
