Macedonia is particularly well known for her Byzantine fresco paintings and iconography.

This is just one of the better preserved icons.

Annunciation (14th century)



Ascension (probably dating back to about the 11th or 12th century)

This is a detail from a fresco painting in an Ohrid church, which I believe may be he cathedral of Holy Sophia.



The pictures were taken from the website of the MOC as you might be able to tell from the watermarks.
