Venerable Naum of Ohrid

Life

His principal feast is December 23, while June 20 is his summer feast. On this summer feast a great assembly of people gathers at the Monastery of Saint Naum. Many who are sick come or are brought there, to receive healing over the relics of the saint through faith and prayer. Not only Orthodox but also people of other faiths come to seek help from Saint Naum. A Muslim from Resen brought and donated a bell to the monastery in 1926 out of gratitude because the saint had healed his brother and raised him from his deathbed back to life. The donor's name was Dzemail Zizo, and his healed brother Suleiman Zizo. Both were distinguished citizens of Resen.
