Sv. Bogorodica,in Jankovec (the Holy Mother of God Monastery)

 
The village Jankovec, is located next to the small town Resen. There you can find the The Holy Mother of God Monastery (the Virgin Mary). The monastery can be found above the village.
Inside the monastery


The monastery is built before the 18th century.

Every year on the orthodox holiday Assumption of Mary a lot of people come to the monastery and light a candle.This holiday is on the 28th of August.


The whole village organizes the celebrations and they serve graf ( a Macedonian dish made of white beans). There was also always live music and people dancing "oro"(Macedonian traditional dance).But these past few years the nun that lives in the monastery, doesnt allow the music.  The village is famous for it's beautiful monastery.
