Which nation treats the Byzantine Empire as part of its own history curriculum?
The #Byzantine Empire lasted over a thousand years, and even toward its end, its people were still debating and fighting among themselves over the nature of Christ and Christian theology.

A high-contrast, atmospheric photograph inside a Greek Orthodox church. In the foreground, a person’s hand reaches out to place a thin yellow taper candle into a large, ornate brass circular candelabra filled with glowing flames. The background features a white stone archway (iconostasis) adorned with intricate carvings, Greek inscriptions, and a red shield featuring a white double-headed eagle. The scene is split between the warm, golden glow of the beeswax candles and the cool, moody blue shadows of the church interior.

The Church of the Holy Savior at Chora grew over many centuries. Some of it is 10thC, some much older; there was a monastery here in the time of Constantine. The famous mosaics are 14thC. One Angel still has a face. #byzantine #drawing #church

Palermo's Capella Palatina was constructed in the 12th c. under the Norman king Roger II. The architecture and mosaic decoration of the basilica are in the #Byzantine style, the earliest mosaics probably executed by artists brought to #Sicily from the Greek east.

Callinicus was the grand chamberlain of Justinian I, and was celebrated by Leontius Scholasticus in an epigram, which was originally attached to an icon of the eunuch. The epigram remarks on Callinicus' spiritual beauty as well as his physical beauty.
