Life
Clement the Bulgarian was a disciple of St Gregory of Sinai on the Holy Mountain in the fourteenth century, a native of Bulgaria. He is mentioned by Patriarch Callistus in the Life of Gregory and venerated by the faithful, without a synodal canonization.
Callistus places him among the disciples of Gregory who, under his guidance, advanced in practice and in contemplation, then themselves gained many disciples and reposed in peace in the Lord. Of Clement he says that, for the purity of his soul, he was granted spiritual visions. No other details about him have survived.
