St. Naum, a photo from Ohrid, West

Photographer's Note

The monastery of St. Naum is located on the southeast side of Lake Ohrid, in the immediate vicinity of the Macedonian-Albanian border. Its building is linked to the name of St. Naum, the closest associate of St. Clement of Ohrid. Records about the life and work of St. Naum can be found in three literature works dedicated to his life. Also the Archbishop of Ohrid, Constantine Cavassila, wrote about him. In the Historical Archives of Ohrid there is a Chronicle written by a priest that lived in the second half of XIX century. It reveals a series of interesting details about the construction of the monastery, the estate of the church, and the lives of the monks. Among other things, there is a record about a disastrous fire that occurred on the night of 2nd and 3rd February 1875, when the largest part of the monastery compound was burnt to ashes.

Čestitam ti Zorice 1600 poena koje si ostvarila u kratkom periodu. To govori o tvom posvećenom odnosu prema fotografiji i prema svima koji je kreiraju. Utisak o tebi je da si nesebična, da se raduje� svome i tuđem. Zato ti puno hvala.
