                                                   MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.
At a young age, she felt a calling to be a nun.Her devotion took her to Calcutta, where she founded a new order: The Missionaries of Charity.
The primary objective of this mission was to look after people.But during her way, she experienced two traumatic periods:the Bengal famine of 1943 and the Muslim violence in 1946.
She used to wear a white Indian sari with a blue border.
In 1952, she opened her first home for the dying, which allowed people to die with dignity. Mother Teresa often spent time with those who were dying.
Some have   criticised the lack of medical attention and the refusal to give painkillers.
In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but she gave the $192,000 to the poor.
She died in 1997 in Calcutta because of health problems.Mother Teresa was formally beatified in 2003 by Pope John Paul II.
 Quote by Mother Teresa “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
