I wonder about this with the new Muslim militancy in Turkey and the gravitational pull toward making HS a mosque again. When the Pope visited a while ago there were precautions against prayer. Correspondingly Erdogan opened a space in the building to Muslim prayer last year. Odd since it seems to be agreed that the Muslim god and the Christian god are the same god.

[@SymeonPhronema]

My guess is that Erdogan will get his wish and it will become a mosque again. Such a shame as it's a beautiful cathedral built in honor of our Lord. That said, the building is only a building, and the church of our Lord will continue unto the ages, even without it. Lord Have Mercy!

[@cpegg5840]

Not one of the nations of Europe will respond to a call to crusade; the incumbent Pope will never call the Tenth Crusade anyways. The Age of Crusading is long past. Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire will never return. The landmass of Asia Minor will forever be the nation of Turkey. The former Constantinople will remain Istanbul. Hagia Sophia will never be an Eastern Orthodox cathedral again, and Patriarch Bartholomew will never set foot in it, nor will any of his patriarchal successors. That is the sad but very real truth of things. The Holy Spirit departed on May 29th, 1453 as observed by many; a strange but glorious light rising from the Hagia's dome and disappearing into the sky. The death of Christianity in Anatolia.

[@alecosdemetriades4907]

Κατά τον Άγιο Παίσιο αυτή η κίνηση του Ερτογάν σημαίνει το τέλος της σημερινής Τουρκίας. Όπως είπε ο Άγιος Παίσιος σε αξιωματικό του Ελληνικού στρατού που τον επισκέφθηκε "Την Πόλη θα την πάρουμε στη ζωή μας". Συνεπώς, σύντομα στην εκκλησία της "Σοφίας του Θεού" θα ολοκληρωθεί η λειτουργία που διακόπει το 1453 μ.Χ. και στη συνέχεια θα λειτουργεί στον αιώνα των αιώνων ως Η Εκκλησία της Ορθοδοξίας και όλων των Χριστιανών.

[@stephenchakwin4894]

If only! Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox church and the spiritual center of the Eastern Church. When the fragment of the Eastern Roman empire was finally conquered in 1453, HS was turned into a mosque - its mosaics were covered over. All traces of Christian iconography were obliterated. In the 1930s, it was turned into a museum and the old images were gradually restored. The restoration since then has been endless. When I went there in 2015, half of the nave was covered with scaffolding. The harmony is fading with the modern zealous Turkish government. It turned the Hagia Sophia church in Trebizond back into a mosque after extensive restoration work on its mosaics. It has been inciting calls to turn the HS in Istanbul into a mosque as well. That would be a terrible loss to the non-Muslim world and perhaps to the Muslim and Turkish world that values the art of the past.

[@Kanikanihia]

Hagia Sophia is now a symbol of Islamic terror for Eastern Europe and Orthodoxy. Read its history and what the Ottomans helped by the templars did. If anything it is a symbol of war, of pain and regret and of why different cultures CANNOT live side by side. The Ottomans enslaved and killed Eastern Europeans and the Catholic Church helped them. Children were taken as sex slaves from all countries in Eastern Europe. I'm certain you are well intentioned and probably a little bit too idealistic, but please read the history of our side of Europe.

[@vanakanderaki7944]

Sorry lady, you’ve got it all wrong. Hagia Sophia was the greatest Christian church for centuries, the center of one of the greatest Christian empires, the eastern hellenized Roman Empire. Couldn’t be more fanatically Christian than this. Turkish tribes came from Mongolia to the shores of Asia Minor as late as 10th 11nth c. They concerned Byzantium because of internal strife and enslaved millions of people and destroyed Hellenism. 4 hundred year later after endless resistance and constant revolutions our ancestors repossessed a very small part of the Empire mainland Greece and the islands. Unfortunately for political reasons European scholars had buried the history of bysantine empire, the greatness which exceeded in every aspect any other great European one. And the crucial role that it has played by charismatic emperors and generals for repelling for a thousand years all the barbaric nations ( Persians, Arabs etc.) from Europe giving the great European nations the chance to flourish and create the modern western civilization.

It was coming but it wasn't fully incarnated in the human being yet. To me, time and rhythm would have been more about times of day, sun and moon, seasons. I just don't feel like people would have felt rhythm in that way, especially with word and prayer. Seems almost like we would not have been that incarnated yet - still coming down to earth. Just a feeling and also my sense when I have sung chant like Hildegard.

@@chelseahuber9331 Orthodox chanting is not plain singing. It's more complex, technical and specialised than common singing. Orthodox chanters are vocally superior to common singers. Every note you hear has a purpose and a reason behind it.

You're right Only the orthodox and oriental churches (coptic, maronites etc. ) are still christians. Western "christians" in west-europe and America (catholics and protestans) went astray, because the don't follow Jesus anymore.

It's not pagan at all

[@Sira628]

MusicMajorMaestro what do youmean?

[@MusicMajorMaestro]

How is this pagan? It's a traditional Byzantine Orthodox chant. The Byzantines were Christians. Even though there is Muslim and pagan music vaguely similar to this, this is uniquely Christian spiritual music.
