When visiting Hagia Sophia, consider these helpful tips to make the most of your experience. Firstly, plan your visit for weekdays, preferably Tuesdays to Thursdays, to avoid the weekend crowds. Arriving early in the morning shortly after the opening time allows for a more peaceful and immersive exploration of the monument. If possible, visit during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) to avoid peak tourist numbers. Be mindful of local events and holidays to plan your trip around potential busy periods. Lastly, respect the cultural significance of Hagia Sophia, and dress modestly out of respect for its religious history and current status. Love Hagia Sophia!

Today we celebrate the Holy Martyr Sophia with her three Virgin Martyr daughters, Faith, Hope and Love. The three virgin martyrs were subject to cruel and viscious torments which eventually had them killed right before their mother's eyes. Their mother Sophia was forced to watch as a punishment from the torturer, but rather than pleading for the tortures to cease, she encouraged her daughters to persevere in the faith, saying that the suffering will not last long and that they would soon meet their Bridegroom in Paradise. After all three daughters had been killed, Sophia reverently buried them and reposed in the Lord soon after while praying at their graves. At the time of their martyrdom, Faith was 12 years old, Hope was 10, and Love was 9. May they intercede for us always + #saint #saints #martyrs #martyr #virginmartyr #virginmartyrs #saintsophia #hagiasophia #faith #pistis #hope #elpitha #elpida #love #agape #mother #daughter #daughters #martyrdom #encourage #holy #repose #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilCamcrIIe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Byzance

La cité antique de Byzance fut fondée par des colons grecs de Mégare vers 657 av. J.-C. Selon l'historien Tacite, elle fut construite sur la rive européenne du détroit du Bosphore sur ordre du "dieu de Delphes" qui dit de construire "en face du pays des aveugles". Cela faisait référence aux habitants de Chalcédoine qui avaient bâti leur ville sur la rive orientale du détroit alors que la rive occidentale était considérée comme beaucoup plus fertile et mieux adaptée à l'agriculture. Bien que la ville ait accepté l'alphabet, le calendrier et les cultes de Mégare, beaucoup reste encore inconnu sur sa fondation. La région devait rester importante pour les Grecs comme pour les Romains. Située dans une région très fertile, la ville avait encore plus d'importance du fait de sa position stratégique. Non seulement elle gardait la seule entrée de la mer Noire, mais elle se trouvait aussi près d'un profond bras de mer, la Corne d'Or, faisant que la ville ne pouvait être attaquée que par l'ouest.

Sophia

This is the shot that I was most looking forward to take on my trip to Istanbul with my new circular fish eye lens. I already loved some of the photos that I took of cathedral ceilings with my fish eye lens but I was too keen on capturing the magnificence of Hagia Sophia with the lens. I must say that I was not totally blown away with the images I could take. Maybe, the beauty of the shots was…

Hagia Sophia is a mosque and major cultural and historical site in Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque was originally built as a Greek Orthodox church, and was used as such from the year 360 until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. It served as a mosque until 1935, when it became a museum. In 2020, the site once again became a mosque. (Writeup taken from Wikipedia.)

Tiridate

Tiridate ou "Trdat l'architecte" (940s-c. 1020s ?) était un architecte arménien connu pour son rôle dans la reconstruction du dôme de Sainte-Sophie à Constantinople après un tremblement de terre au Xe siècle, ainsi que de la cathédrale d'Ani et de l'église de Gagik dans ce qui est aujourd'hui la Turquie. Avec Momik (c. 1270-1333), Tiridate est le plus célèbre architecte arménien du Moyen Âge.
