Между фолклорния наратив и манастирското предание. Легендите за св. Наум Охридски от „Патерик манастира светога Наума" на еп. Николай Велимирович
Between Folklore Narrative and Monastery Traditions. The Legends about St. Nahum of Ohrid from the Paterik of Saint-Nahum-Monastery of Bishop Nicolai Velimirovich

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to analyse the folklore and monastery legends about St. Nahum and his monastery collected and published in 1925 in Skopje by St. Nicolai Velimirovich, who was bishop of Ochrid from 1920 to 1934. The collection carries material known from earlier publications – local legends that reflect old-time mythologems (about Nahum and Clement seen as heroes of their time and milieu, elements of a cultus of saints-twins, etc.) as well as oral narratives heard by Bishop Velimirovich or written monastery legends that present St. Nahum chiefly as a healer or protector of the monastery from pillagers and people of alien faiths. The choice and the interpretation of the folklore material reveals a tendency for ideologization linked with the historical vicissitudes around the jurisdiction of the Ohrid archbishopric, which after the First World War was joined to the Orthodox Church of Serbia.
