Icons in a Macedonian church have started to shine without an explanation.

Hundreds of believers have gathered outside the church of Sveti Dimitrije in Skopje to see the "miracle" – in which the icons get brighter as people look at them - which started happening on Easter Sunday

Local priest Father Malinov explained: "It is really a miracle, it started on Sunday in the central part of the iconostasis [a wall of icons and religious paintings], the golden colour is very visible and the phenomenon continues

"Since this morning I have observed the phenomenon, half of the icons are already cleaned. First a red colour appears which turns golden … You can see the icons clearing up from top to bottom."
