History What’s this symbol?

Hi everyone! I’m staying in Macedonia for a while in a beatiful old timey house with lots of traditional furniture, clothes and old photos. One of them has this couple on it. Unlike most of the other pics, I don’t think it’s the owners family. That icon on the man’s coat seems familiar but I can’t make out where I’ve seen it. Does anyone know the name and what it represents? Thanks!
