It's one of those weird metaphors used in medieval religious texts. I remember seeing it several times in the 9th grade (literature classes in this grade were heavily focused on medieval Bulgarian texts).

So, when someone is very wise and pious, he can be proclaimed to be "golden-mouthed". And this is a big praise!

(no woman ever got this praise, which is not very surprising)
