It will always be a dark stain that not enough of us (just the Genoese) were with you at the Walls of Theodosius on that dark day in 1453. Someday, Hagia Sophia will reclaim her place as one of the pillar churches of Christendom, it just may have to wait till the Heavenly Jerusalem.
And Kolo's ancestor died on those walls fighting off the Mohammedans 555 years ago! A missed opporunity to help Christendom with disastrous consequences. That's what happens when we put human divisions over God. Hopefully we will never repeat the same mistake and come to each other's aid, setting aside those issues that divide us and concetrating on those that bring us closer. It's much better that way. :)

We Orthodox have a saying: in due time. It's all on God's clock. :) He knows what time it is.
