Here is a little bit of information about the church we will visit on Tuesday. At the bottom there are some websites about the church, but there is a lot of information on them. Just have a look at the mosaics and a little bit about the history of the church.  

The Chora Church is decorated with iconic murals and mosaics from the fourteenth century that represent the Late Byzantine artistic styles.

The Chora Church, or the Church of the Holy Savior in Chora, was originally built in the early fifth century outside the walls of Constantinople. 

Today its architecture, mosaics, and frescoes are examples of Late Byzantine artistic developments and style. Frescoed wall painting is the primary means of decoration within the church. The program of images relate to Christ and the Virgin Mary by depicting scenes from their lives, their ancestors, and themes of salvation, which culminate in scenes from the Last Judgment.

In this picture a man named Theodore ordered the restoration of the church and its mosaics and frescoes. He is dressed in his official robes with a turban-like hat called a skiadon. Theodore later disagreed with the royal family at the time, and he was stripped of his wealth and thrown into prison. He was only released when his life was drawing to an end. He retired to this monastery, where he died on 13 March 1331
