American Pastor Joel Tenney Sings “Der Vorghormia” Inside the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul “I worshipped JESUS OUR GOD in the Jewel of Christendom, (the now Islamic Occupied Cathedral) one of the oldest in the world, I sung Der Vorghormia, Hayr Mer, and Christos Anesti before being removed from the Cathedral for disrupting the evening Islamic prayers in the now mosque by the officials. I will not rest from advocacy until Greece reclaims the Hagia Sophia, Armenia regains her stolen lands, and the Turks receive Justice for what they’ve done to Christendom,” said Tenney. Constructed in 537 AD under the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (now Istanbul) stood as the preeminent cathedral of Eastern Orthodox Christianity for nearly a millennium. Renowned for its architectural grandeur and spiritual significance, it symbolized the zenith of Christian devotion and Byzantine artistry. However, following the Ottoman conquest in 1453, this bastion of Christian faith was converted into a mosque, marking a profound transformation in its religious identity. Centuries later, in a move towards secularism and cultural preservation, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk decreed in 1934 that the Hagia Sophia be designated as a museum, honoring its rich and diverse history. In a controversial turn of events, July 2020 witnessed the Turkish government’s decision to reconvert the Hagia Sophia into a mosque, a move that has been met with deep sorrow and concern within the global Christian community. This reconversion is perceived by many as a disregard for the site’s profound Christian heritage and a deviation from its role as a bridge between cultures and religions. The Hagia Sophia’s journey reflects the broader narrative of Christianity’s endurance and the challenges it faces. As a monumental testament to Christian faith, its current status serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle to preserve religious and cultural identities in the face of changing political landscapes.

🇸🇾🎄 "We are not afraid. Pray for all Syrians expecially for the Christians who stayed here. Their number has dwindled." Orthodox Patriarch of Damascus: “We Syrian Christians are the original people of Syria, and we will remain in our ancient homeland.” This declaration was delivered in Western Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic — the language spoken by Jesus Christ and the original tongue of Syria.

How stupid we Christians looked on the Day of National Prayer and Thanksgiving. While our Muslim brothers and sisters observed the day in their National Mosque, we were at the State House, seeking shade to avoid the scorching sun—a shameful contrast.😔

Mateja Kežman, a man who never hid his Eastern Orthodox Christian faith. Throughout his career, he openly confessed Christ, spoke proudly about the importance of God in his life, and carried himself as a witness to the Orthodox faith both on and off the pitch. He wore the Orthodox Cross proudly, defended Christian values publicly, and remained deeply connected to the traditions and spirituality of the Serbian Orthodox Church. For many Orthodox Christians, he became an example of how a man can live in the public eye yet still boldly glorify God without shame.

Video coming up from Govandi, Maharashtra, where Islamists attacked the murti of Maa Durga and desecrated, even before it's sthapna, as the procession crossed a mosque. The conflict began with opposition to the dhol by the Muslim community, leading to the desecration of the idol and then a minor scuffle between the two communities. As of now, 6 Islamists have been detained; more details soon.

Christians in Jerusalem gathered for prayer and to oppose bombing of civilians in Gaza and all destructive violence. The Latin Patriarch gave a message of encouragement and we lit candles to remember the dead and to counter the darkness. Chanting The Beatitudes in Aramaic.

A new mosque in Regina, Canada has received backlash after blasting a call to prayer over the loud speakers. Police attended and warned people about.... You guessed it, hate speech. The priest opposite is in full support of the call to prayer and the guy in the mosque can barely speak English.
