Life

Holy Hierarch Gregory of Ohrid, also called Gregory the Wise, shepherded the Church in Ohrid, in Macedonia, and reposed in peace in the year 1012. An inscription in the church of Holy Wisdom in Ohrid calls him Gregory the Wise.

The Greek sources also know him as bishop of Moesia, and the synaxaria say only that he was a faithful teacher and a shepherd of Christ's flock. No other details of his life have survived. He is commemorated on 8 January.
