While top Macedonian officials attended St. Teresa’s canonization Mass at the Vatican, a modest ceremony was held at a small chapel in her hometown of Skopje.
About 50 people gathered at the chapel in the Mother Teresa Memorial house to express “gratitude and joy” for her sainthood.
Speaking in front of a large picture of the nun, Rev. Marijan Ristov said that Teresa dedicated her whole life to “God and human sufferings.”
Snezana Hristrovska, 66 told The Associated Press that she brought her two young nephews to visit the memorial house and told them that is “proud to be Macedonian” today because of Teresa.
She said that “born in Skopje, she will be an inspiration for me and many other generations that will come.”
