Veljusa is an old monastery near Strumica, Macedonia. You can feel the peace of this place from the begining, it is breath taking. An oasis... of silence. Greenery bordered with flower-beds and
roses. Recently planted trees and few ancient. The monastery is from 1080 year probably. Now there are 10 nuns who care for everything there. It looks amazing. They are to kind and good. I had some time with them, we talked and drink coffee. They also are mounting icons, and you are able to buy some.
