Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun and missionary. She was born in Skopje, in an Albanian family, at that time the center of the Kosovo Province in the Ottoman Empire.

Lived in her homeland for 18 years, then she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived most of her life.

Gonxhe Bojaxhi was beatified on October 19, 2003, by Pope John Paul II, when she was called "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta".

Mother Teresa has been honored with the highest awards and honors, including: the 1962 Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize and the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.

Mother Teresa is deeply remembered with her statement: "I was born in Skopje, I was educated in London, I live in Calcutta and I work for all the poor people in the world. My homeland is a small country called Albania".

Mother Teresa always wore the white robe with blue stripes of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, which she herself founded in 1950. She was modest about her work, but at the same time she considered it necessary, calling it "a point of relief in an ocean of suffering", but according to her "if this point did not exist, it would be missing from the sea".
