Life
In the monastery of the Holy Theotokos near the village of Kalishta, to the west of Struga, the Holy Mother of God has shown her power and mercy through numerous miracles. Many sick people have been miraculously healed, and robbers who plotted to plunder or defile the monastery were harshly punished by an invisible power. In the church there is also a wonder-working icon of the Holy Theotokos, and nearby two healing springs: of Saint Peter and of Saint Ananias. Not far from the main church there is the chapel of Saint Athanasius in a cave.
