The Venerable Apollinaria
MEMORIAL DAY JANUARY 18
The Monk Apollinaria was the daughter of Anthemius, the former ruler of the Greek Empire during the infancy of Theodosius the Younger (408-450). Having refused marriage, she begged her pious parents for permission to worship the holy places of the East. Arriving from Jerusalem to Alexandria, she secretly changed into the clothes of a monk from the servants and disappeared into a swampy place, where she labored for several years in strict fasting and prayers. According to a revelation from above, she went to the hermitage to St. Macarius of Egypt, calling herself the monk Dorotheus. St. Macarius accepted her among his brethren, and there she soon became famous for her ascetic life. Apollinaria's parents had another daughter who suffered from dementia. They released her to the hermitage to St. Macarius, who brought the patient to the monk Dorotheus (Blessed Apollinaria), through whose prayer the girl received healing. Upon returning home, the girl was again abused by the devil, who gave her the appearance of a woman carrying in her womb. This incident led to the strong anger of her parents, who sent soldiers to the hermitage and demanded to hand over the culprit of the insult to her daughter.
Saint Apollinaria took the blame and went with the messengers to her parents' house. There she revealed her secret to her parents, healed her sister, returned to the hermitage, where she soon died peacefully in 470. It was only after the death of Monk Dorotheus that it was revealed that it was a woman. The body of the saint was buried in a cave, in the church of the monastery of St. Macarius of Egypt.

I will never let any of you forget the reference to Anthemius and Isidore, who were behind construction of the Hagia Sophia during Justinian and Theodora's reign (although there had been a Church there beforehand since the reign of Constantius II and they were rebuilding the one that burned down during Nika) in this show.

SAINT OF THE DAY (February 28)
Pope Hilarius (or Hilary) was the bishop of Rome from 19 November 461 until his death on 29 February 468.
Hilary was born in Sardinia, Italy. He was a papal legate to the Robber Council of Ephesus in 449, barely escaping with his life from this affair.
Hilary was used by Pope St. Leo I the Great on many assignments. When Leo died, Hilary was elected pope and consecrated on 19 November 461.
He worked diligently to strengthen the Church in France and Spain, calling councils in 462 and 465.
Hilary also rebuilt many Roman churches and erected the chapel of St. John Lateran.
He also publicly rebuked Emperor Anthemius in St. Peter’s for supporting the Macedonian heresy and sent a decree to the Eastern bishops validating the decisions of the General Councils of Nicaea, Ephesus, and Chalcedon.
Hilary consolidated the Church in Sandi, Africa, and Gaul.
He died on 29 February 468 and was buried in Basilica of St. Lawrence outside the Walls.

Discovering the Enchanting Hagia Sophia Dome: A Timeless Wonder
Hagia Sophia, meaning "Holy Wisdom" in Greek, was originally built as a Christian cathedral during the reign of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century. The construction of the Hagia Sophia Dome began in 532 CE and was a feat of engineering brilliance. It took only five years to complete, a remarkable achievement considering its complexity.
The Marvelous Dome Architecture
The Hagia Sophia Dome is a true marvel of architectural innovation. Designed by gifted architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus, the dome's construction was groundbreaking. It features an ingenious pendentive construction—a triangular, curved segment that supports the dome's transition from its circular base to the square walls below.
The architects used a combination of bricks and lightweight mortar to reduce the overall weight on the pendentives, allowing the dome to soar to a height of approximately 55.6 meters (182 feet). The result is a breathtakingly beautiful and structurally sound dome that continues to inspire architects and engineers to this day.
A Tale of Symbolism and Transitions
Over the centuries, the Hagia Sophia Dome has witnessed significant transitions and transformations. Originally a Christian cathedral, it hosted numerous religious ceremonies and imperial events. With the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453, it was converted into a mosque, adorned with Islamic elements such as minarets, mihrabs, and calligraphy.
In 1935, under the administration of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Hagia Sophia was transformed into a museum, becoming a symbol of secularism and celebrating Turkey's diverse history and cultural heritage. This cultural treasure has served as a bridge between different cultures and religions, representing unity and understanding.
The Controversy
Despite its historical significance, the Hagia Sophia Dome has been a subject of controversy in modern times. The debates revolve around its status as a museum, mosque, or interfaith space. While its past transitions are a testament to its ability to adapt and embrace change, the question of its current purpose sparks passionate discussions among various stakeholders.
Preserving the Treasure
Recognizing its value as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Turkish government, along with international organizations, has devoted considerable efforts to preserve and restore the Hagia Sophia Dome. The goal is to ensure that this extraordinary monument stands tall for generations to come, enchanting visitors from all corners of the world.
A Timeless Wonder
The Hagia Sophia Dome remains a timeless wonder, weaving together the threads of history, art, and architecture. Its breathtaking design and rich history offer a glimpse into the human spirit's creativity and perseverance. As you stand beneath its awe-inspiring dome, you can't help but be transported back in time, feeling the echoes of the past and the weight of history.
Visiting the Hagia Sophia Dome is an unforgettable experience, where you can immerse yourself in the cultural tapestry of Turkey and marvel at the brilliance of ancient architecture. Each intricate detail of the dome tells a story, and every corner holds secrets waiting to be discovered.
Whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a history buff, or simply a curious traveler, the Hagia Sophia Dome will leave an indelible mark on your soul. Its allure, beauty, and significance will continue to inspire generations, reminding us of the remarkable achievements of humanity and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
So, the next time you find yourself in Istanbul, don't miss the opportunity to experience the enchantment of the Hagia Sophia Dome—a timeless wonder that stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of human civilization.
