On November 29, 2023, pastor Mart Jaanson turned 20 years of service to Nõo Church. On the anniversary, the beginning of the church year and the 1st Advent service in the newly renovated church, interludes from the church's mixed choir.

The church was under construction/renovation. But the walkway to the top looks dangerous but definitely safe.

Most of the time this church is closed.. In special occasions like Christmas and Easter this opens.. Nice atmosphere available around in summer time..

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
