Turkey Tour 2007
Kariye Museum Istanbul - May 3
The church is an example of the beginning of the Renaissance. All of the images are mosaics in intricate detail.
This old church was not on our itinerary, but Sylvia requested that we add it.
In this mosaic, Mary is in her coffin and is shown reborn as an infant girl.
This is Mary’s funeral, attended by all who were there at the birth of Jesus.
This mosaic shows two of the miracles performed by Jesus at the wedding: turning water into wine and multiplying the loaves of bread.
This mosaic depicts a pregnant Mary.
