Place

|

Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo entered a hermitage near the Monastery of Lesnovo and the place of Zletovo (skitъ blizъ prjamo manastirъ, vъ dolъ prjamo Zletovo). The lively influx of people, who were sick and obsessed, caused that the Saint sought solitude in Lukovo (i preide vo stranu Lukovo). The hamlet Lukovo is mentioned in the Slavic donor inscription of the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) from the year 1340/41 as a monastic property (sь zaselkomь lukovu). Furthermore, the hamlet Lukovo appears in the founding charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) from the year 1346/47 (sь zaselkomь Lukovu vyše crьkve). The Serbian local ruler Konstantin Dragaš donated on the 15th August 1381 the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) with all its possessions, including the village Lěsnovo (2) with its hamlet Lukovo (selo Lěsnovo i sь zaselkomь Lukovōmь), to the Hilandar Monastery.

Place

The Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo escaped from Lukovo and found refuge in the mountains, where he stayed on the mountain top Oblovъ (verhъ Ōblovъ). His relics were found there and brought to the Monastery of Lesnovo. From a toponomastic point of view, it is noteworthy that in the Life of the Saint also a greek variant (στρογγύλος) of the slavic toponym is used (verhъ Ōblovъ, jakože skazaet sja grečeski Strongilo). Both expressions can be translated as "round", "rounded", "spherical“.

Osiče
|
Place
|
|
|
Saint Gavrilo Lesnovski came, according to his detailed Vita, from a rich family in Osečko pole (ōt strani Ōsečkōmъ pole, roditelemь bogatu sělo i blagočestivu). After a vision he built a Church of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God with the funding of his parents on the field of Osiče (na pole Ōsiče). The secondary literature identifies Osečko pole with the current village of Osiče. The expression "pole" ("polje"), which means "field", "open area" or "plain", might indicate that Osiče was a scattered settlement.

Osmir Dolě
|
Place
|
|
|
A certain priest named Theōdorь came after the death of Saint Joakim Osogovski (approximately 1105?) during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos (reigned 1143–1180) from the village of Osmir Dolě in Ovče Pole to Sarandaporь (Vъ dni tie běše ierei imenemь Theōdorь vь stranah Ovčepolьskyh. Vь vsi zovoměi Osmir dolě). He was led by the divine inspiration and went with the blessing of the saint. The author of the Life of Saint Joakim Osogovski connects Osmir Dolě with Ovče Pole, but his opinion is incorrect. Rather, Osmir Dolě, is to be sought near Kočani.
