"The ancient sanctuary from the 13th century in Lesok is protected by the Law on protection of monuments," said Mirko Stankovski, Archpriest Very Reverend of Tetovo Bishop's Regency. He says the Church "St. Atanasij" built in 1924 and dedicated in 1936. Albanian terrorists use all means to destroy everything that is a symbol of Christianity and "we are afraid they will destroy the entire monastery complex from the 13th century." The Macedonian Ministry of Interior announced that Tuesday morning at 03.10h, members of the so-called NLA destroyed with dynamite the entry gate, central cupola and iconostasis of the Lesok Monastery. This vandalistic act, carried out only few days before the great religious holiday Virgin Mary, not only harms the soul of every orthodox Macedonian but also confirms the anti-historic mentality of the Albanian terrorists who still live as savages who do not recognize anything as secret, the announcement reads. Destroying the Lesok Monastery, the terrorists desecrated the Christian gate placed in Macedonia 2000 years ago by Apostles Paul. The Ministry of Interior is doing everything in its power to discover and arrest the people responsible of this criminal act against the humanity.
Early Tuesday, at around 03.10 hours, Albanian terrorists completely destroyed the church "St. Atanasij", within the complex of Lesok monastery.
