The monastery of St. Naum is located on the southeast side of Lake Ohrid, in the immediate vicinity of the Macedonian border with Albania. 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 and in the Historical Archives of Ohrid.
The iconostasis in the church was carved in 1711. The authors are unknown. The icons of the iconostasis: “Crucifixion” and “Entrance into Jerusalem” are treated as one of the best achievements from the first part of XVIII century. Also there are two Cyrillic and one Glagolitic-Cyrilic inscriptions dating from the period between the late X and XII centuries. These inscriptions testify of the development of the oldest Slavic scripts Glagolitic and Cyrillic in the Ohrid region.

Draga gospođo,
Ovo je lijepa fotografija Crkva svetog Franje Asiškog, u Oporto. Ovo je crkva, još nije povišena do katedrale.
Hugs iz Portugala, Filipe
