Abstract :The second thematic dossier in Meclis, edited by Brigitte Pitarakis, marks Hagia Sophia’s recent reconversion to a mosque, probably the most consequential event in 2020 concerning Istanbul’s historical heritage. It deals with experiencing Hagia Sophia in the past, and the diverse encounters with it. This piece by Brigitte Pitarakis discusses common or related characteristics at Hagia Sophia, the Nea Ekklesia in Constantinople, and the shrine of St. Nicholas in Myra that shed light on the forces behind the promotion of St. Nicholas’s cult and his impact on the Macedonians’ political ideology.
Keywords : Ayasofya, Demre, Myra, Aziz Nikolaos, Makedon Hanedanı
