Namely, the saint was born in Skopje under the name Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, and that's why Macedonians think she is from there, even thought her mother is from Kosovo, father Vlach, and not Albanian, as the other side claim. They placed a monument and a memorial hope at the place where she was baptized in Skopje, therefore, this predominantly Orthodox country celebrated the canonization of Mother Teresa.

On the other side, Albanians, after the erection of the monument to this particular saint in Skopje, protested the inscription in English and Macedonian, because they consider Mother Teresa to be Albanian, and she never declared herself as Macedonian. 

Herself solved this quarrels very peacefully during her lifetime.

- By blood, i am Albanian, as citizen i am from Skopje. By nationality, i am from India. By religion i am Catholic. I belong to the world by my calling. With my heart, i belong to Jesus - she said. 

Mother Teresa is a peace Nobel prize winner and one of the Church's most influential woman in history. Pope Francis declared her saint yesterday, one day before the 19th aniversary of her death.
