Gregory of Nin
Chalcedonian bishop who introduced the Croatian language in church services
Gregory of Nin
Gregory of Nin (Croatian: Grgur Ninski pronounced [ɡr̩̂ɡuːr nîːnskiː]; Latin: Gregorius Ninnius) was a 10th-century Croatian Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Nin and was strongly opposed by the Pope and Catholic-Church officialdom. According to traditional Croatian historiography, after the Great Assembly in 926 Gregory of Nin introduced the Croatian language into Croatian religious services. Till then – the Croatian church being under Rome's jurisdiction before the Great Schism – Croatian church services had been held only in Latin, incomprehensible to most Croatians. The change of church-service language was important for Croatian language and culture, and it strengthened Christianity within the Croatian Kingdom.
