The appellation Pelagonitisa came from Pelagonia, the region in Republic of Macedonia where the Monastery and church of the Holy Transfiguration is located, built at a rock over the village Zrze. The icon of the Mother of God Pelagonista, according to the extremely well-preserved inscription on the lower and upper parts of the frame, is the work of Makarie Zograf, the icon-painter, brother of Metropolitan John Zograf, who came from Zrze.
