Memory eternal! Martyred Bishop Chrysostomos ping.
I guess the Turks took it out on the Greeks and the Armenians when they could. Probably as revenge for being kicked out of Europe in 1912 by Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, and Bulgaria in the First Balkan War. Too bad they stopped at Bosphorus. Trouble is, the Turks would do it asgain if they could. Look at Cyprus. And Europe is mulling their membership...what a joke. Sadly, America has no clue what Islam is, and is too disinterested to hear the truth. Now you have the 9/11 Mosque Imam threatening riots if the mosque is not built at Ground Zero. And everyone will cowtow to their tantrums. The religion of peace...
I found this beautiful prophetic quote from the Holy Martyr
“I seek a great Cross, upon which I will try my pleasure, called and I don’t have anything else of my own to give towards salvation of our worshiping homeland, other than to give my blood. Thus I perceive my life and the archpriesthood...and the miter, which your holy hands placed upon my head, said, if it is called for, may the radiance of its stones never be destroyed, it will be converted to the crown of thorns of martyrdom of a hierarch.”-Bishop Chrysostom of Smyrna
