Tracing Constantinople
Description
Built by Rome's first Christian emperor, legend has it that Constantinople was founded with the help of the angels, by divine decree. Throughout the conquest of successive empires the city has remained guardian of a rich spiritual heritage and center of the Eastern Orthodox world. Beginning with a recap of Constantinople's origins, this program offers a dazzling tour of Byzantine religious sites in and around Istanbul. The video explores the history, architecture, and mosaic icons of Hagia Sophia, the Church of Saint Irene, the Chora Church, and others, and also visits the holy springs at Baloukli. The Ecumenical Patriarchate and its significance to Eastern Orthodoxy is covered as well.
