Macedonia – Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa’s birth name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, and she was born in Uskup, a town in the Ottoman Empire. Today, that town is called Skopje, and it is the capital city of North Macedonia. When she was eighteen years old, she left home and travelled to another country. 

The Mother Teresa Memorial House is in her honour in Skopje.
