Armenian Orthodoxy of Constantinople The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople is today one of the Patriarchates of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, but within living memory it exerted a very significant political role, and today still exercises a spiritual authority, which earns it considerable respect among other Orthodox churches, both Chacedonian and non-Chalcedonian. Despite a huge diminution in the number of its faithful, it is still the largest Christian community in Constantinople. On March 10, 1998 - His beatitude Archbishop Karekin II Patriarch of Constantinople passed away, and was succeeded by Archbishop Mesrob Mutafyan.The Patriarchate of Constantinople plays a highly significant role in the life of the world-wide Armenian community and runs as an autonomous Patriarchate in teh Armenian Church body, and also retains its historic prestige for maintaining the rich liturgical tradition of the see of Constantinople. Patriarch Mesrob Mutafyan serves as one of the vice-presidents of the Holy Synod of Armenian Orthodox bishops. It maintains close relations to the Etchmiadzon and Cilician Catholicates and the Jerusalem Patriarchate, it cherishes its heritage of scholarship and, in the absence of its own seminary, encourages ordinants and clergy to pursue further studies in Etchmiadzin, Jerusalem, or in foreign universities.

Istanbul (formerly known as Constantinople) Sinan Films Presents: Istanbul - Past and Present Istanbul (Turkish: İstanbul, Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολη, historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see other names) is Turkey's most populous city, and its cultural and financial center. The city covers 25 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on the Bosphorus strait, and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents On May 29, 1453, Sultan Mehmed II "the Conqueror" entered Constantinople after a 53--day siege and the city was promptly made the new capital of the Ottoman Empire. In the last decades of the Byzantine Empire, the city had decayed as the Byzantine state became increasingly isolated and financially bankrupt, its population had dwindled to some thirty or forty thousand people whilst large sections remained uninhabited.[10] Thus, Sultan Mehmed's first duty was to rejuvenate the city economically, creating the Grand Bazaar and inviting the fleeing Orthodox and Catholic inhabitants to return back. Suleiman the Magnificent's reign was a period of great artistic and architectural achievements. The famous architect Sinan designed many mosques and other grand buildings in the city, while Ottoman arts of ceramics and calligraphy also flourished. Many tekkes survive to this day; some in the form of mosques while others have become museums such as the Cerrahi Tekke and the Sünbül Efendi and Ramazan Efendi mosques and türbes in Fatih. The city was modernized from the 1870s onwards with the construction of bridges, the creation of a proper water system, the use of electric lights, and the introduction of streetcars and telephones. The urban landscape of Istanbul is shaped by many communities. The most important and most populous major religion is Islam. The first mosque in Istanbul was built in Kadıköy (ancient Chalcedon) on the Asian side of the city, which was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1353, a full century before the conquest of Constantinople across the Bosphorus, on the European side. The first mosque on the European side of Istanbul was built inside the Rumeli Castle in 1452. The first grand mosque which was built in the city proper is the Eyüp Sultan Mosque (1458), while the first imperial mosque inside the city walls was the Fatih Mosque (1470) which was built on the site of the Church of the Holy Apostles, an important Byzantine church which was originally edificed in the time of Constantine the Great. Many other imperial mosques were built in the following centuries, such as the famous Süleymaniye Mosque (1557) which was ordered by Suleiman the Magnificent and designed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, and the famous Sultan Ahmet Mosque (1616) which is also known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles which adorn its interior. Istanbul was the final seat of the Islamic Caliphate, between 1517 and 1924. The personal belongings of Prophet Mohammad (saw) and the earliest Caliphs who followed him are today preserved in the Topkapı Palace, the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and in several other prominent mosques of Istanbul. According to the 2000 census, there were 2691 active mosques, 123 active churches and 26 active synagogues in Istanbul; as well as 109 Muslim cemeteries and 57 non-Muslim cemeteries. Religious minorities include Greek Orthodox Christians, Armenian Christians, Catholic Levantines and Sephardic Jews. Some districts have sizeable populations of these ethnic groups, such as the Kumkapı district which has a sizeable Armenian population, the Balat district which has a sizeable Jewish population, the Fener district which has a sizeable Greek population, and some neighbourhoods in the Nişantaşı and Beyoğlu districts which have sizeable Levantine populations. In some quarters, such as Kuzguncuk, an Armenian church sits next to a synagogue, and on the other side of the road a Greek Orthodox church is found beside a mosque.

1204AD Crusaders Destroy Greek Byzantines Constantinople 1204AD Crusaders Destroy Greek Byzantines Constantinople Crusaders Attack and Destroyed Greek Orthodox Constantinople 1204 AD. They knew that Constantinople was a richer prize than all the Holy Land - and that it could be taken more easily. Constantinople had withstood Moslem armies for 5 centuries, it now fell. The imperial capital was stormed by the very men whose forefathers had promised rescue a century before. Untold treasures of gold, silver, and holy relics were plundered during the subsequent pillage and rape. Literary classics, great and wonderful works of art and treasures untold were either destroyed or carried away. Many of its priceless treasures were carried off to Europe. But the greatest prize of all were the relics. bones, heads and arms of saints. the crown of thorns, St. Thomas, the doubter's finger. The patriarch fled on an ass without a single attendant. Tombs were robbed. Women were outraged. Churches were desecrated. Horses were ridden in the sanctuary. Communion cups and sacred vessels were used as drinking cups in drunken revels. Prostitutes danced on the altar. Icons, even portraits of Christ were used as gaming tables. The Byzantine emperor was murdered by his own people in a revolt. Venice took much of the coast and islands of the Empire, and the crusaders set up a "Latin Empire" with a Latin, Baldwin of Flanders as emperor. Pope Innocent II could express disapproval, but the Greeks were schismatics and heretics so their own rule was set up over the Greek Empire, which lasted 50 years. The Latin and Greek Churches were declared to be reunited, and Latin emperors ruled as conquerors in Constantinople from 1204 to 1261. This is the first time the Byzantine capital was taken, and a landmark in the history of relations between eastern and western Christians. Knights could now choose to crusade against the Greeks instead of the infidel Moslems. Hated by the Greeks, deprived of help from home, driven out in 1261 by the Greek emperor of Nicaia, and the Byzantine Empire was restored. After this disaster it was entirely impossible to restore the Byzantine military or economic system, it became a mere shadow of its former self, now reduced to only a Balkan state. The Latin Empire of Constantinople is a complete freak of history. The Byzantine power was so shattered, it was now unable to check the Turkish sweep into Europe, and the hopes of uniting the eastern and western churches, which the possession of the Byzantine capital had inspired was blighted forever. The chief beneficiaries of this robbery were the Venetian who themselves took over the most lucrative parts of the former Empire, including Crete and the Aegean islands. Eastern Christendom has not forgotten those three appalling days of pillage. As the Byzantines watched the Crusaders tear to pieces the altar and icon screen of the Church of the Holy Wisdom, and set prostitutes on he Patriarch's throne, they must have felt that those who did such things were not Christians in the same sense as themselves.. The Crusaders did not bring peace, but a sword, and the sword was to sever Christendom to this day. Between the fall of Rome and the discovery of America the Fourth Crusade is the most important event in the history of European trade. It established the Venetian Empire. http://latter-rain.com/ltrain/curfor.html The Fourth Crusade - Sack of Constantinople Tags: Byzantine Crusaders 1204 constantinople istanbul venetians venice greek greeks greece crusade 4th |
