Your Beatitude, Your Eminence, Fathers and Faithful People
One millennium Bigorski monastery St. John the Baptist warms the hearts of the Macedonian people and the numerous Orthodox Christians, who from different parts of the world, in different epochs, have found their spiritual peace or started their spiritual growth in our Macedonian national church pride. The Bigorski Monastery, through its wide spiritual, social, national, scientific and educational mission, over the years has been recognized by our people as its faithful companion with essential contribution in every field. As a modern generation we have a historical honor and we share great joy that we are here when a thousand years are completed since the glorious founding of the monastery by our patron the Head of Ohrid Jovan Debarski.
Let me congratulate you on the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Bigorski Monastery of St. John the Baptist, with wishes that these sublime festive moments of general unity of the faithful people last, and that all the virtues created by the holy Bigorski family be multiplied.
For many years!
