North Macedonia; Monastery of Saint Naum | UA: Північна Македонія; Монастир Святий Наум The Monastery of Saint Naum in North Macedonia is one of the most famous and revered places in the country. It is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Ohrid, just a few kilometers from the border with Albania. Founded in the early 10th century by the disciple of Cyril and Methodius, Saint Naum, the monastery became an important spiritual and cultural center of medieval Macedonia. The architectural ensemble of the monastery includes a church, cells and outbuildings, surrounded by a garden and high walls. The central place is occupied by the Church of the Holy Archangel Michael, which has preserved unique frescoes and icons. The atmosphere of the monastery is filled with peace and tranquility, which makes it especially attractive to pilgrims and tourists. The tomb of Saint Naum, which is located inside the monastery, is of particular value. According to legend, if you put your ear to his sarcophagus, you can hear the beating of the saint's heart. This miracle has long attracted believers here, who come to ask Saint Naum for health and protection. The only thing that is not clear is that the area around the monastery has turned into a beach, a bazaar, a restaurant, where people spend their time not for spiritual communication at all.
