DESCRIPTION:Religious practices taking place in rock-cut churches were an 
 important part of Byzantine culture. The rich iconographic material found 
 in the chapels of Ohrid and Prespa illuminates numerous aspects of medieva
 l art and society. Regardless of their geographical isolation\, these chur
 ches had an important role in the religious practices of different communi
 ties: monks\, members of the nobility\, ecclesiastic dignitaries and laype
 ople. The décor of these monuments attests to the stylistic changes\, the
  import end the export of iconographic elements and the mobility of artist
 s between the major centers of the Byzantine Empire (Thessaloniki\, Consta
 ntinople\, Kastoria\, Ohrid\, Pelagonia) and between the Greek and Slavoni
 c worlds.
