Macedonia ~ Matka - Skopje




This is mine first ever postcard received from Macedonia.

Thank you to ANA for sending this lovely postcard from far away.

I've learned that Matka is a small community outside Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. Matka is also the Macedonian word for “womb.” A lovely convent near the Tresca River Canyon – dramatically cleaving granite cliffs – is named for Mary, mother of Jesus, and is dedicated to mothers “from whom all human life flows.”
