The Albanian Museum of National History has placed on display the passport that Mother Theresa requested in 1927, in Skopje, to visit her family in Tirana, before travelling for her mission.
Skender Asani, Director of the Spiritual and Cultural Heritage Institution in Skopje, said that this is the first step that an institution in Macedonia is studying the life of Saint Theresa.
The document is not the only document that is being presented at the exhibition in Tirana. There are letters, such as one that she sent to her relatives when her mother died, telling them to not feel sorrows because her spirit had gone to paradise.
Stefan Tetollari, specialist of the Collection Management Sector at the National Museum of History says that some objects come from the family of Tonin Shpati, which she visited during her visit in Tirana. There are 15 objects that were used by Mother Theresa when she visited them, which they donated to the museum in 1997”.
Besides the exhibition, there was a promotion for the book “Albanian Catholic Children in Skopje”, which gives more details about mother Theresa’s life.
