Wow... Wonderful photograph. Love the openness and feeling of space. :v:

Joan Carroll replied:

Thank you Lisa! It was actually amazing to be able to take the photo because of the crowds. But because most of the mosaics were in another area, most of the crowds were elsewhere.

Description:

Tiny Chora Church on the edge of Istanbul Turkey is home to some of the best examples of Byzantine mosaics. This square domed nave is the oldest section of the building, dating from around 1100. the marble niche a little to the right of center is the mihrab, which was added by the Musslim Ottomans when this church became a mosque. Representing a symbolic doorway leading the hold city of Mecca, the mihrab shows Muslims the correct direction in which to pray. On the left side of the wall is the mocaic depiction of The Living Jesus Christ with an inscription "Dwelling place (Chora) of the Living" On the right wall is the depiction of Mother Mary with the Child Jesus. The inscription originally was "Dwelling place (Chora) of the Uncontainable".
