St. Gorazd is undoubtedly the most important of the pupils of the Thessalonian brothers Constantine – Cyril and Methodius. In spite of this and in spite of the great interest in him from researchers, especially in the last century, we have very little concrete information about his life. He remained forgotten for centuries, with veneration and knowledge growing mainly in the last 80 years. The not clearly answered questions about Gorazd include that of his ordination as a priest and consecration as a bishop, on which we have no direct evidence. Gorazd’s priestly status is considered obvious by all experts, but some doubt his episcopal consecration, while others accept it and explain it with indirect evidence. The present article is a consideration of the question of how far we can date the priestly and episcopal consecrations of Gorazd, the first recognized saint, who originated from our territory.
