Macedonia: the cradle of Slavic civilization

[El Gre]

Ridicoulous indeed. The 'cradle' of Slavic civilization lol . And yet in the 1940's they had to go and bastardize Cyril and Methodious' alphabet by adding a few latin letters and dropping some of their
original letters out, right Sokol? backwards R lol !!!! Why they did that? to make it look different from Bulgarian of course.

The Bulgarians also made amendments to theirs to make it closer to Russian.

Serbian geography textbook from 1871:





"Староцедеоци у овим земљама, бијаху у древна времена неки Словени, којима имена не знамо: Можда кроз друга времена много и изметнути, то су Данашњи Македонци."

"Natives of this land, were in ancient times some Slavs, whos name we do not know.......these are modern Macedonians"





"Македонци су најстарји Словени на овом Илирском троцољу, а можда и у Европа"

"Macedonians are the oldest Slavs in these Illyrian lands, perhaps even in Europe"




Interesting book. Any comments?

Church of Saint Sophia. Built between 852-889.








Ceiling frescoes:

Saint Sophia church Ohrid ... The church Saint Sophia is one of the most important monuments of Macedonia, housing architecture and art from the Middle Ages.
This church, was originally the synod church of the Ohrid Archbishop, and later converted to a mosque, has preserved in its interior the traces of several time-period: frescoes from the 11^th, 12^th and 13^th century.
For a long time it was the cathedral church ("Great Church") of the Ohrid Archiepiscopate whose ecclesiastical authority covered the territories up to the river Danube to the north, the Albanian coast to the west, and the Bay of Thessalonica to the east.
The main part of the Saint Sophia church was built in the 11^th century, while external additions were built by Archbishop Grigorie in the 14^th century.
The date of the construction of that church is uncertain because there are no inscriptions that help reveal it. It is also mentioned that today's church was either built or restored during the period of the Archbishop Leo who was on the throne of the Church in the period between 1035-1056. His esteemed ecclesiastical principal became a donor of the painting decorations in the church of St. Sophia.

Church of Saint John at Kaneo. Built in the 13th century.

One of the most magnificent churches in all of Macedonia stands right above a small fishing settlement, on a cliff rising up from Lake Ohrid; St. Jovan Kaneo is a combination of Byzantine and Armenian architectural styles.
Built in the honor of St. John the Theologian, St. Kaneo with its sublime atmosphere and views of the placid lake below, remains an inspiring place for spiritual contemplation.The church which was consecrated at the end of the 13th century was built on a rectangular stone base. Its exterior is decorated with ceramic decorative sculptures and stone carvings.Though the fresco painters are unknown, the fragments that have been preserved are of exceptional quality; the Communion of the Apostles and the portraits of St. Clement, St. Erasmus and Constantine Kavasilas especially stand out.
Being as it is - an extraordinarily unique construction - St. Kaneo is indeed one of the most beautiful churches in Macedonia as well as in the whole Balkan region.
