Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu /agns gna bjadju/ (Albanian Gonxha for "rosebud") was
born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, now the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Although
she was born on August 26, 1910, she considered August 27, 1910, the day she was baptized,
to be her "true birthday." Although some sources state that she was 10 when her father died,
in an interview with her brother, the Vatican documents her age at the time as "about eight".
