No more tears for Haghia Sofia
There is no reason for lamentation. This superbe monument, Haghia Sofia, is invincible through the process of time. Through centuries and millenniums Haghia Sofia, the Holly Wisdom of God, has been and still is the astonishing combination of ancient, classic reason (logos - logic) and medieval, supernatural miracle (thauma - thaumaturge).
A dome of 33 m. diameter - symbolically the years of Christ - hanging over 60 meters with no evident support. A dome that has collapsed tree times and rebuilt, let alone that the monument itself has survived for more than 1500 years. Ancient temples proudly demonstrate their way of construction. The Great Church (Ecclesia) of Constantinople has succeeded in hiding its extraordinary structure. Greeks, all over the world, have no reason to grieve. After all even as a mosque its name remains the same. Haghia Sofia! Erdogan and his parade have been defeated. His ridiculous fiesta has not even been supported by the invited Muslim leaders. Even more to the historical truth is that the spirit of Haghia Sofia has survived in the structure of every famous muslim dome, from Souleimaniye to the Blue Mosque and from Selimiye to the çamiis of Prussa and Konia (Ikonion)...But imitation and aesthetical plagiarism are
be ruined by any neobarbarian since spirit is above any propaganda. A global, undefeated heritage after all.
