What people say

Hazel Teh
"Founded in the 10th century by the revered Saint Naum of Ohrid, this monastery has been a beacon of religious devotion, learning, and creativity throughout the ages. Its Byzantine-style domes and intricate frescoes stand as testaments to centuries of cultural richness. Within its walls lies the main church, dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, adorned with a revered iconostasis and relics of Saint Naum, drawing pilgrims from near and far. Beyond its religious significance, the monastery has been a guardian of Macedonian identity, fostering literature, calligraphy, and iconography amidst political storms."
