| Abstract: |
Clement was born in a Greek family that was related to the Emperor Flavian's family. When he heard the preachings of the apostles Peter and Paul, he became their disciple. Clement was taught in the Apostolic Ministry and continued their work. In the year 96 for preaching about Christ, he was sent into exile on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, in the Chersonesus, where he spent the last years of his life. In the exile Clement continued to preach, he converted many pagans, including Slavs. He was not only the enlightener of the Slavs, but also the founder of the Church in Russia - Chersonesus Church. This was reported to Rome, and in 101 under the Emperor of Trajan Clement was drowned in the sea with an anchor on the neck. The memory of Clement and the veneration of his relics stood at the cradle of true enlightenment in Russia. Following in his footsteps, the enlighteners of Slavs, Cyril and Methodius, continued his work. In Chersonesus they created the alphabet for the Slavic peoples and translated the Gospel and the Psalter from Greek into the Slavic language. They created the literacy that became the basis of Slavic and later Russian culture. |
