Macedonian church bell - Page 2

Hi Niko,
Thanks I just got clarification that the second bell is indeed a different one dated 1904.
I would still say the second bell is Macedonian even through it uses Bulgarian orthography as back then Macedonians got their education primarily through religious institutions and they could only pick three.
Regardless the inclusion of the word Macedonia and the sun symbol shows the continuation from antique times to modern times.

The first bell from Sersko is a really great find in my opinion given the estimated time it was created and the interesting spelling it utilised. If it was indeed made in the 1830s then it pre-dates any established standard form of writing for any South Slavic language to my knowledge.

There must be more Macedonian church bells out there.

Both of them have been deprived and tormented.
