The day on which Christians honour the memory of healer St. Pantaleon, is also the day on which the work is honoured of the seven saints - the brothers Sts. Cyril and Methodius, and their disciples – Kliment, Naum, Sava, Gorazd and Angelarius.

In Ohrid, St. Kliment worked day and night and trained more than 3,500 clerics. Because of the righteous life he led, he was revered as a saint soon after his death.
