Macedonian Orthodox Church
The Macedonian Orthodox Church, officially known as the
Macedonian Orthodox Church - Ohrid Archbishopric, is the
autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Church in North Macedonia,
and the successor to the Archbishopric of Ohrid established
in the 11th century. It played a crucial role in preserving
the Macedonian identity and Orthodox Christian faith during
the Ottoman rule. The church became autonomous from the
Serbian Orthodox Church in 1967, and it gained full autocephaly
in 1991, though this has a subject of ongoing contention
with other Orthodox churches.
