Albanian Heroes Skanderbeg & Mother Teresa: a defender of the faith & a renewer of the faith
For 25 years, Skanderbeg struck fear into the heart of the Ottoman armies. His 10,000 braves soldiers, often outnumbered in battle, consistently won against larger and better supplied Turks. Considered a model of Christian resistance, when Skanderbeg died in1468, the Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed the Conqueror, exclaimed: "At last Europe and Asia are mine! Woe to Christendom! It has lost its sword and its shield."
