Happy Holidays 2021

December 16, 2021 by A. Cemal Ekin
WIshing you a happy holiday season

We wish you a very happy holiday season
and a wonderful new year

Season decoration

As tiring and challenging as the last two years have been, we try to rise to the challenge and wish that you all are doing the same. Better days are ahead and we need to stay alive to gather again when those days come. We have not seen our girls, Elif and Mina for over two years and miss them a lot. But, one day we will be together, in good health!

As a small holiday gift and to say once more Happy Holiday, here is a slide show of photographs I took in the film photography days and scanned recently. They are all from the Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora in Istanbul. The magnificent frescos and mosaics are prime examples of Byzantine art. Some of these may no longer be visible to the public when they visit the museum. Click on the images to see them larger. The first one, the Anastasis fresco is Jan’s favorite.

The Anastasis Fresco
Christ as “The Land of the Living”
The Magi on their way to Jerusalem and before Herod
Christ with Theodore Metochites presenting a model of his church
Dormition of the Virgin
Mary and child
Christ Pantocrator

Have a great 2022!

Thanks, Jim, for taking our photograph! In case you are wondering, it is not the same photograph from early 2021.

    The most beautiful photograph on this page obliges me too to thank Jim!
    I liked the colour renditions – obviously from a superb interpreter of film photography. Good that you scanned them – one day the real ones might disappear completely.
    Türkan and I also wish Jan and you a happy and prosperous 2022 – hopefully much better than the previous two.
    Stay well and best regards,
    Haluk

      Thank you, Haluk. I will pass your comment on to Jim if he does not notice it! Yes, I am glad I took these photographs and recently scanned them. You are right, now they are covered I hear when it is Islamic prayer time.

      Better 2022 for all of us, stay well,

      Take care,

      Cemal
