Summary/Abstract: Celebrating 1100 years of the Assumption of St. Clement of Ohrid, we pay attention to the hagiographies of Bulgarian saints, written by Byzantine writers and declaring local saints and martyrs as protectors of the Archbishop of Ohrid as a tradition in result of the Bulgarian-Byzantine cultural synthesis; tradition that became a historical argument for the independence and importance of the Bulgarian church in the life of the Empire. Created under Byzantine domination, this literature existed and functioned in a period when Constantinople fulfilled its ideological programme towards Bulgarians with the guiding role of the Archbishopric of Ohrid. In this context we present the image of St. Clement, as interpreted by eminent Byzantine authors and archbishops of Ohrid (XI–XIII c.).
