Muttergotteskirche
Etymologically the name of the village originates from the local Slavic phrase Velika Elyeusa ("велика Елеуса – Велеушина"), referring to the main village Church of the Holy Mother of God ("Богородица Елеуса, Bogoroditsa Elyeusa") which is situated in the village. It is a similar situation to Veljusa's ("Вељуса"), near Strumica, where the church of the Most-Holy Merciful Theotokos is located.
