Mother Teresa memorial house
The desire to pay respect to the most famous person and Nobel Prize winner from Macedonia was accomplished on 30th January 2009 with the opening of the Memorial house dedicated to Mother Teresa. The location of the museum is not randomly chosen. That is to say, on this exact place the old Catholic church "Sacred Heart of Jesus" used to stand. It is where Mother Teresa was baptized just one day after her birth.
The building represents a multifunctional building composed of three parts: gallery - exhibition space, chapel - spiritual space and amphitheater - multimedia space. The gallery includes photos, documents and exhibits through which one can follow the life journey of Mother Teresa starting from her childhood years in Skopje, via the years that she spent as a Missionary of Charity, until her death and beatification. Above the gallery there is a small chapel where the priests from the Catholic church hold services 3 times a week. At the honorary masses associated with the important dates related to Mother Teresa her relic is presented. The basement part of the museum is designed as a multimedia center that hosts various projections, promotions, exhibitions, educational projects related to the life and humanitarian work of Mother Teresa.
Here is a video of our visit of the Memorial House.
