"It has been 28 days since His Beatitude the Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje Jovan (John) is (sic) imprisoned in the prison Idrizovo, near Skopje."

The website of the ancient Christian Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, or FYROM, ticks away the days of the imprisonment of its head, "the only confessor of the faith who, in modern Europe, has been convicted and put in prison because of his religious beliefs."
