homeschoolmom Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It was interesting. It's always sad to me to see the Hagia Sophia surrounded by minarets. I have always thought Cappadocia was cool. Wonder how much longer those images will be there. It's always good to be reminded of the biblical history that lies in Turkey. It's sad that there are only 4,000 Orthodox left in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
