İstanbul Kariye Camii – Müze (Yüzlerce Fresk ve Mozaik) 46 Dilde Altyazı

A quick preview… Greetings to everyone from a sunny Istanbul day. We’ll begin our video by passing through neighborhoods filled with historic houses. Today’s route is the Kariye Mosque (Chora Church) . It’s a magnificent structure adorned with hundreds of frescoes and mosaics. With its historic neighborhoods, cafes, and peaceful atmosphere, it will transport you to completely different worlds. We’ll begin our tour by entering the next gate. This street is practically calling me. I’ll definitely end my tour there. 🙂 And now we’re in the garden of the Kariye Mosque. On the left side of the garden is a cemetery. This tomb belongs to Abu Sa’id al-Khudri Ra, one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). According to sources, his real tomb is in Medina, and this tomb is symbolic. (Makam) You need to purchase the necessary tickets to visit the museum here. The Kariye Mosque (Chora Church) was first built in the early 4th century as part of a monastery complex outside the city walls, and then in the 5th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian. The name Kariye derives from the ancient Greek word “Chora” (χώρα), meaning “in the field” or “in the countryside.” This structure takes its name from its location outside the old city walls. Used as a palace church and chapel for important religious ceremonies, the Kariye Church served as a church for another 58 years after the conquest of Constantinople. In 1511, it was converted into a mosque by Atik Ali Pasha, the grand vizier of Bayezid II. Since its construction, the building has undergone numerous transformations, and in the 14th century, under the patronage of the scholar and statesman Theodoros Metochites , it was transformed into a work of art filled with frescoes and mosaics. This structure is the second most important church in Istanbul after the Hagia Sophia. However, it is not as popular compared to the Hagia Sophia. Few tourists visit Istanbul. If you have visited, please share your experiences with us in the comments. These frescoes and mosaics, which cover almost every corner of the building, tell stories from the Bible and the life of Jesus. We’re currently in the building’s second narthex. As you can see, everywhere you look, there are frescoes and mosaics. Here, a scene depicts the three priests in the presence of King Herod. Above the door leading to the inner narthex is a scene of Christ Pantocrator. Here, Jesus holds the holy book (the Bible), symbolizing the law, in his left hand. This mosaic depicts Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana. Here, it depicts the event where Mary received the good news of her pregnancy. Here, it depicts the birth of Jesus. The mosaic directly above us depicts Jesus’ encounter with the devil. Several different scenes depict the devil trying to deceive Jesus in the desert. My neck is stiff from constantly looking up. I don’t want to miss a single detail. But it’s really hard to constantly look at the ceiling and turn the camera up 🙂 Here, the Virgin Mary is depicted during the tax count in the presence of the Governor. Here, the scene of the Virgin Mary leaving the city is being recreated. This painting depicts Jesus being taken to Jerusalem for Passover. This mosaic depicts the Return of Mary, Jesus, and Joseph from Egypt to Nazareth. I can’t describe all the paintings here because it would be too long. If you have any questions about the frescoes or mosaics you saw in the video but didn’t mention, leave them in the comments and I can explain them to you. In the center of this segmented dome, in the center of the fresco, the Virgin Mary is depicted with Jesus on her lap. In the segments surrounding the Virgin Mary, there are 12 angel figures. This time, I’m really dizzy 🙂 I need to lean on something. I lean my back against the wall and continue recording the video. Wouldn’t you subscribe to my channel in return for these sacrifices I’ve made for you? 🙂 This section is the chapel located south of the church. The most striking frescoes in this chapel are the scenes on the apse wall. This fresco depicts the scene of the Last Judgement (the Deesis Scene). Jesus is at the center of the scene, with Mary to his left and John the Baptist to his right. The twelve apostles are depicted seated on the steps on either side of the throne. There are several different scenes here. At the top is the scene of the preparation of the throne, below it is the scene of the weighing of sins and good deeds, and on the far right is the scene of hell. Following the Deesis Scene, on the apse’s semi-dome, is the Anastasis Scene. In the center of the scene, Jesus holds the hands of Adam and Eve. Satan is depicted lying at Jesus’ feet, his hands and feet bound. This section houses the figures of bishops. There are a total of six saints, three on the right and three on the left. Some frescoes depict the miracle of Jesus resurrecting the dead. This fresco depicts Jesus resurrecting the daughter of Jairus, the chief of Hauran. This fresco depicts the entrance of the elect into paradise. In the foreground is St. Peter holding the key, and behind him is the group of the elect. Each scene here has a story. But I won’t keep you waiting any longer. Now we are moving towards the first narthex. In the center of the segmented dome here, Jesus is depicted, and his ancestors are depicted in each segment around him. And there are countless scenes around it 🙂 After this video, I will be walking with my head held high for a while 🙂 This is the oldest mosaic panel here. This panel depicts the Deisis Scene. It is known as the Meyem of the Mongols and the pardon scene of Isaac. The scenes immediately above it show scenes showing the miracles of Jesus. In this scene, Jesus’ healing of the paralyzed patient from Capernaum is depicted. Here, Jesus’ healing of the disabled is depicted. Theodore Metochites, who repaired the ruined structure and decorated it with frescoes and mosaics, is depicted in this mosaic presenting the model of the Chora to Jesus. This scene in the dome depicts the presentation of Jesus to the temple. This scene shows Jesus taking a ball of wool from the temple. This event took place during the distribution of the threads to be used in the making of the temple curtains among the virgins. Jesus The scene depicting the first seven steps of Mary. The frescoes and mosaics within the structure depict the significant events that took place since the birth of both Jesus and Mary. This scene depicts the birth of Mary. These scenes depict the love and blessing of Mary. The Tabshir Scene is depicted here. Anna is given the good news of the birth of Mary. Mary is depicted in the center of the segmented dome, and her ancestors are depicted in the surrounding sections. Now we move on to the section of the building used as a mosque. This is the section of the mosque reserved for women. I believe I’ve introduced most of it to you. I’m sorry if I missed anything 🙁 If there’s a scene I didn’t explain, you can write it in the comments. Yes, this area is used as a mosque. The mosaics inside are covered with curtains during prayer times. You can see that there is an electronic curtain over the mosaic. Here, the scene of the death of the Virgin Mary is depicted. We see a different detail in every corner of the building. The mosaic of the Guiding Virgin Mary. The marble panels of the building also look quite aesthetic. These marble panels are created by dividing marble columns with different patterns in two vertically and placing the pieces side by side. I don’t know what I’m looking for here 🙂 Only the pulpit, mihrab, and a pulpit from the mosque are here. They were planned in accordance with the building’s design. After it was converted into a mosque, the mosaics in this section were covered with wooden cabinets. It’s really gratifying that all the mosaics and frescoes have been preserved to this day. Now it’s time to go out and walk that beautiful street. It was a bit tiring for me, but quite an enjoyable trip. I hope you had a great time too. We’re planning new trips. We will continue to bring you wonderful sections. This will be my first time walking this street. I have no idea where it will take me. I hope I don’t get lost 🙂 Thanks for watching the video until the end. See you in the next videos 🙂
