Description

The existence of the Church of the Holy Virgin Borišičina is attested by a fragmentary charter issued by the Byzantine co-emperor Michael IX Palaiologos in ca. 1299/1300, through which he donated it to the monastery of Saint Nikita (μονύδριον διακείμενον μὲν καὶ τοῦτο περὶ τὸν αὐτὸν τόπον τῶν Σκοπίων, εἰς ὄνομα δὲ τιμώμενον τῆς πανυπεράγνου θεομήτορος καὶ οὕτω πως ἐπιλεγόμενον τῆς Βορισίνης). In a charter of the Byzantine emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos - at the instigation of the Serbian king Stefan Uroš II Milutin - in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the tower of Hrusija of the monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the possessions of the monastery of Saint Nikita in and near Skopje were confirmed, amongst others the aforesaid church and vineyards (U tomь Skopii drugaja cr(ь)k(v)i na ime S(ve)tije B(ogorodi)ce, Borišičina, s ljudmi čto se ōbr[ě]taju po(dь)nom i sь nivami i sь vinogradi).
