The Macedonian Cross

The Macedonian cross was discovered on a wall of the main monastery church of the Holy Mother of God Eleusa (Merciful) in the Veljusa Monastery. That is why the cross is also called Veljusa Cross (Вељушки крст, Veljuški krst) or Strumica Cross. The church was built in the eleventh century. The founder of the monastery was Manuel, then Bishop of Strumica.
