The Church of the Birth of St. Mary, located in Ohrid, Republic of North Macedonia, is a perfect spot for pilgrims who are looking to experience the beauty and serenity of this holy place. The appealing construction of the church and its timeless atmosphere is both peaceful and inviting. Visitors can spend time contemplating and drawing nearer to God, exploring some of the unique features that adorn the walls such as portraits of saints or exploring the grounds around the church and take a leisurely stroll through the park nearby. A special treat for those visiting is witnessing one of the impressive processions honoring the Holy Virgin Mary which occur several times each year, bringing devouts from near and far and uniting them in faith.
