New collection: Mother of God of Zahumlje, Zaum, Macedonia | Zaum, or the Church of the Mother of God of Zahumlje, is located on the eastern shore of Lake Ohrid, at the foot of Mount Galičica. Owing to a fresco inscription in Greek on the western wall of the church, we learn that the church was built by Kesar Grgur, and painted in 1361 by Grigorije, bishop of Devol, “during the reign of Stefan Uroš”.
The BLAGO Team visited Zaum in June of 2025.
