Mother Teresa Is Born

Mother Teresa was born August 26 1910 as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Serbia to parents; Nikola and Drana Bojaxhiu. The day ( August 27) of her baptism always held special significance for Agnes. She considered it her real birthday. 1

She was the youngest of three siblings. She had an older brother Lazar and and older sister Aga. Her parents were strict disciplinarians and her traditional ideas about the role of the woman in the home were undoubtedly influenced by her early home life. Her father was gone on business much of the time, and her mother was occupied with cooking, mending, and other domestic tasks. When her father returned, however, her mother would tidy up, and make sure the children were presentable. 2
