Always an experience to visit this great, very magnificent church and to be able to experience a mass.

The church and the monastery building are also beautiful. It was surprising to us that the monastery shop operates on a cash register basis, with self-service POS terminals. The best idea is the Mass wine vending machine in front of the church! (Unfortunately, it was raining when we were there, so we couldn't taste Mass wine, but we were enriched with two super high-quality "disposable glasses" that we will not throw them away...! They will serve perfectly as travel glasses for many years.)

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.
