| Description |
Hagia Sophia is a former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935 and it remains so till today. [Till it was converted in july 2020 to a mosque once again. From an 2020 article: "The Diyanet, the country’s religious authority, said Christian icons would be curtained off and unlit “through appropriate means during prayer times”. Authorities said last week the mosaics would be concealed with either curtains or lasers when the first prayers are held."]. This is one place on earth which arguably preserves the legacy of two faiths. Perhaps, best example for mutual co-existence and universal peace. Leap of faiths. |
