In the city of Ohrid in the Republic of North Macedonia, a country in southeast Europe

 One of the most beloved native daughters of North Macedonia was Mother Teresa, who was born in Skopje. In the first-ever papal visit to North Macedonia, in May of 2019, Pope Francis lauded the lasting legacy of Mother Teresa, a saint unafraid to offer her life for love.

===================================================================
(in the Republic of North Macedonia, a country in southeast Europe) The city of Ohrid in North Macedonia, the seat of the Ohrid Municipality, is known for once having 365 churches, one for each day of the year, and has been referred to as a "Jerusalem of the Balkans." The fascinating city of Ohrid has all the cobbled streets and quaint churches that one would expect from a European town, with the added advantage of being right on the shores of Lake Ohrid. The city, which is rich in attractive houses and monuments and tourism, is located southwest of Skopje, west of Resen and Bitola. In 1979 and in 1980 respectively, Ohrid and Lake Ohrid were accepted as Cultural and Natural World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. (Ohrid is one of only 28 sites that are part of UNESCO's World Heritage that are Cultural as well as Natural sites.)

+ Ohrid, on the northeastern shore of Lake Ohrid (Ohridsko Jezero), is the main resort of North Macedonia; it is linked by road and air to Skopje (this country's capital city). Agriculture, fishing, and tourism provide a livelihood for the local population.

+ In Classical antiquity Ohrid was a Greek colony called Lykhnidos. Standing on a crag, it became (by the 2nd century BCE) a post on the Via Egnatia to Bitola and Greece. It was rebuilt by the Romans after a devastating earthquake in 518 CE. At the summit is a ruined fortress dating from the late 10th and early 11th centuries, when Ohrid was the capital of a Bulgarian tsar.

+ Among the churches in the town are St. Sophia’s, with 11th–14th-century frescoes, and St. Clement’s, also with medieval frescoes uncovered in the 1950s. On a nearby hilltop is a quadrangular building, the Imaret, a Turkish mosque and inn, built on the foundations of the monastery of St. Panteleimon, associated with St. Clement, the first Slav bishop of Ohrid. Clement opened the first Slavic school of higher learning, wrote the earliest works of Slavic literature, and, with St. Naum, translated the Scriptures from Greek into Slavonic. The 10th-century monastery of Sveti Naum (St. Naum), about 19 miles (~31 km) south, crowns a prominent crag on the North Macedonia–Albania frontier and overlooks Lake Ohrid. 

+ Ohrid sits on the edge of serene Lake Ohrid, with an atmospheric old quarter that cascades down steep streets, dotted with beautiful churches and topped by the remains of a medieval castle. Traditional restaurants and lakeside cafes liven up the cobblestone streets, which in high summer can be busy indeed. (Outside of July and August, the tourist crowd subsides, and the town becomes easier to explore. (Ohrid's busiest time of the year is from mid-July to mid-August, during the popular summer festival.)
