Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia Stefan and Metropolitan of Polog and Kumanovo Kiril condemned last night's destruction of Lesok monastery by the Albanian terrorists.
"This news was painfully accepted by the members of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, the Holy Archbishop Synod and the followers", Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia Stefan stated.
"I would like to ask whether this act is directed against the religion in this region and the Macedonian orthodox population, against the Macedonian state or maybe against the recently signed Framework Agreement and the efforts to bring back peace in the country", Pontiff of Macedonian Orthodox Church stressed.
According to Metropolitan of Polog and Kumanovo Kiril, the destruction of Lesok monastery means the destruction of the "cathedral temple and ancient monastery sanctuary, together with the church "St. Bogorodica" (Holy Mother of God) dating from the 13th century and the monastery above the cathedral temple dating from the 12th and 13th century.
He informed that only the western part of this valuable architecture work, which was built in 1924, a small part of the gallery and the bell tower remained untouched.
