Holy Trinity Church, Kumanovo, Macedonia

Holy Trinity held a large congregation about 30 years ago where people from all surrounding villages would join in. The locals tell the story of the church restoration: “It was a Roman church, and later restored. The Turks wouldn’t let us build a church”. They donated money for the restoration of the church. It was finished in 1894. In the past century, there was an old man, Stamen, who moved in here from the Rudare village and he would heal people who would come for remedy using the mineral water from the springs.

Saint Nikola Church, Kumanovo, Macedonia

Saint Nikola is a monumental basilica type building, characteristic for all of the sacred buildings in the Balkans in the 19 century period. It is built from stone and bricks.
