New Source for Macedonians being Greek.

[Spartan]

I came across this quote from 'The Quest For The Tomb Of Alexander The Great' by Andrew Michael Chugg.

From St. John Chrysostom's work 'Instructions to Catechumens'

He states:

"And what is one to say about them who use charms and amulets, and encircle their heads and feet with golden coins of Alexander of Macedon. Are these our hopes, tell me, that after the cross and death of our Master, we should place our hopes of salvation on an image of a GREEK KING?"

This is just one more piece of evidence that disproves claims by the FYROM's that the Ancient Macedonians being considered Greek is only Greek propaganda started in the 1820's!

Source for 'Instructions to Catechumens' The line is the first line of the past paragraph.
