Description

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“.
