Macedonian Orthodox Church
The Macedonian Orthodox Church is an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox church based in North Macedonia. It was officially recognized as independent in 1967, separating from the Serbian Orthodox Church. The church plays a significant role in the spiritual and cultural life of the Macedonian people.
The church's leadership is headed by a Patriarch, who oversees various dioceses across the country and abroad. The Macedonian Orthodox Church emphasizes the importance of tradition, liturgy, and community, fostering a strong sense of identity among its followers.
