Saint Naum was a 10th-century Christian monk and scholar from Byzantium, revered for founding the Monastery of Saint Naum in present-day North Macedonia. He was a close disciple of Saints Cyril and Methodius, known for creating the Glagolitic alphabet, which helped develop the Cyrillic script used in many Slavic languages today. Naum played a vital role in spreading Christianity and literacy among the Slavic people. His teachings emphasized spiritual growth, education, and cultural development. Today, he is honored as a patron saint of the region, symbolizing faith, learning, and the cultural heritage of the Slavic world.
