Yoakim Karchovski (Bulgarian: Йоаким Кърчовски; Macedonian: Јоаким Крчовски, romanized: Joakim Krčovski;[1] c. 1750 – c. 1820), also known as Hadži Joakim, was a cleric, writer, educator and one of the early figures of the Bulgarian National Revival.[2][3][4]
Biography
[edit]Karchovski was born around 1750.[5] Macedonian linguist Blaže Koneski theorized that he might have originated from the Kičevo region.[6] Karchovski was educated in Constantinople. In 1787 he began working as a priest.[5] He was a teacher in Kratovo, Debar region, Kriva Palanka, Štip, Samokov, Melnik and Kyustendil.[7][8] He had 2 sons, Georgi and David. In around 1807 Karchovski became a monk, after the death of his wife.[5] In his writings, he identified himself as a Bulgarian and called his language Bulgarian.[7][9] In 1819 he became a hieromonk.[8] He died around 1820.[5]
Legacy
[edit]Although he died before the earliest expressions of a Macedonian national identity, he is considered an ethnic Macedonian in North Macedonia.[9] In May 2022 he was canonized by the Macedonian Orthodox Church as a saint.[10]
