The St. Barbara the Great Martyr and St. Sava of Jerusalem Church is a Macedonian Orthodox cemetery church in the village of Vevčani.[1]
The church is located north of Vevčani, on a small hill, in the middle of an oak forest. Among these trees there are several centuries-old trunks, which indicates the age of this sanctuary.
In the past, this church was a chapel, which in addition to the original name of the church dedicated to Saint Barbara, during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia rule, the Saint Sava name was also added.[2]
