In 1910, a child named Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje to an Albanian family. Raised a Roman Catholic, Anjezë received God's calling at the tender age of 18. She gave her life to the church, dedicating herself to the care of the world's least fortunate. Anjezë took the name Teresa and spent the rest of her days helping to make the world a more humane place.
The architecture of the Memorial House of Mother Teresa is a nonsensical amalgam of various styles and elements: stone arches, domes, a glass box, white plaster doves, all of it completely asymmetrical. This isn't actually where she lived. Her childhood home had been demolished in the 1963 earthquake, and this Memorial House was built in 2008 on the site of the church in which she had been baptized.
