Hristofor Zhefarovich

Hristofor Zhefarovich (original Cyrillic: Христофоръ Жефаровичъ; Bulgarian: Христофор Жефарович, Hristofor Zhefarovich; Macedonian: Христофор Жефаровиќ, Hristofor Žefarović; Serbian: Христофор Жефаровић, Hristofor Žefarović) was an 18th-century Macedonian painter, engraver, writer and poet and a notable proponent of Pan-Slavism.

In his testament, he explicitly noted that his relatives were "of Bulgarian nationality" ("булгарской нации", bulgarskoy natsii) and from Dojran.

Born at the end of the 17th century, Zhefarovich descended from a priestly family from Dojran in Ottoman Empire, (present-day Republic of Macedonia) and became a monk himself.
