One true species is recognized Struthio camelus and several subspecies. The diet of ostriches in the wild may come as a surprise to many propagators who have never fed them anything but commercially produced food. The wild ones are primarily grazing animals, existing on a variety of plant and brush material. In many instances, succulent plants and fruits also make up a large portion of their diet as do small insects and lizards.

The term has evolved to mean a song of celebration, usually acting as a symbol for a certain group of people, as in the term " national anthem See below for other uses. The word "anthem" is derived from (and was formerly synonymous with) " antiphon ." The anthem developed in the Church of England as a replacement for the Catholic "votive antiphon" commonly sung as an appendix to the main office to the Blessed Virgin Mary or other saints. Though anthems were written in the Elizabethan period by Byrd Tallis and others they are not mentioned in the Book of Common Prayer until , when the famous rubric In quires and places where they sing here followeth the Anthem first appears at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer.

Detail of the mosaic in the lunette over the south doorway showing Justinian who presents a model of the church of Hagia Sophia to the Virgin and Child. T he church of Hagia Sophia, associated with one of the greatest creative ages of man, had also been identified with the Ecumenical Patriarchate for more than one thousand years. The church of Hagia Sophia is believed to have been founded by Constantine the Great. The initial building was erected over the ruins of an ancient temple of Apollo, situated on a hill commanding a magnificent view of the Sea of Marmara. The Second Ecumenical Council was convened in Hagia Sophia in 381, during the reign of Theodosius I (378-395). Some twenty years later, on 20 June 404, the people angered by the banishment of John Chrysostom burned down the church . Rebuilt by Theodosius 11 (408-450) and consecrated in 415, the church was again burnt to the ground by the rioting crowds during the Nika Revolt (15 January 532). After the repression of the frightful revolt, Justinian conceived the grandiose project of rebuilding the Great Church from its foundations. This time it was to be built on plans well in advance of the times, using new daring vaulting techniques and statics. The men for the task were available. The mathematician Anthemius of Tralles and the architect Isidorus of Miletus worked with imagination and scientific accuracy to create a new design and build a masterpiece that stands unique throughout the centuries. Nothing like it was ever built before or after.

It is the Hagia Sophia or the Church of the Holy Wisdom. The words Hagia Sophia mean divine wisdom. Its shear magnitude was unprecedented in its day. It is an immense structure consisting of domes and spires. It measures 265 feet long and 228 feet 8 inches wide, and its main central dome, the most prominent feature of the structure stands 185 feet, 8 inches high and spans 102 feet 8 inches wide across. A total of twelve different varieties of marble make up the columns, galleries, nave and other parts of the massive ornate building. Gold leaf and beautiful mosaics, depicting biblical and theological scenes, jeweled crosses and eight pointed stars decorate the interior of the church. One such mosaic depicts Jesus on a throne flanked by the Virgin Mary to his right and John the Baptist to his left with the inscription Peace be unto you. I am the light of the world, another demonstrates a pictorial scheme for salvation.

Situated on the western coast of Caria near the Latmic Gulf at the mouth of the Mæander and the terminus of several of the great roads of Asia Minor, Miletus was for a long period one of the most prosperous cities of the ancient world. At first inhabited by the Leleges and called Lelegeis or Pityussa, it was rebuilt under the name of Miletus by the Cretans (Strabo, XIV, i, 3). It is mentioned by Homer (Iliad, II, 868). About the tenth century B. C. the Ionians occupied it, and made it a maritime and commercial power of the first rank. From it numerous colonies were founded along the Hellespont, the Propontis, and the Black Sea, among others Cyzicus and Sinope. Miletus also had its period of literary glory with the philosophers Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, the historians Hecatæus and Cadmus, the rhetorician Æschines, and the writer of tales, Aristides.

Extractions: Considered the finest example of Byzantine architecture in the world, the church of Hagia Sophia was constructed on a scale unprecedented in human history. Under the rule of Justinian the Emperor, and with a force of 10,000 workers, the dome atop the church of Hagia Sophia was built in record time: it took just five years, ten months, and four days to complete. But when construction began, Anthemius found himself in a geometric fix. How would he build a circular dome atop a square base? Anthemius arrived at a revolutionary solution. He built four massive columns at the corner of each square. On top of the columns, he built four arches. He then filled the spaces between the arches with masonry to create curved triangular shapes called pendentives. The pendentives and the tops of the arches combine to form a strong base for the dome. But it was the dome that made Hagia Sophia the most complex building of antiquity. The shallow dome was made from 40 equally spaced ribs. Forty windows were then set at the dome's base, creating the sensation that the dome actually floated over the church.

Extractions: CHAPTER 4 THE SILENT CITIES OF SYRIA The ancestry of the Reformers is to be found in the godly men and women who, even in the darkest days, by their simple evangelical piety, kept the fire on the altar from going out altogether. N THE early ages of the Christian Era the flourishing cities of Syria were the first to occupy a commanding position in the development of the doctrines and missions of the true church. It is an impressive fact that many of these silent and deserted cities still remain in a remarkable state of preservation. For many centuries after the Jewish Christians migrated north when they were driven out of Jerusalem, they continued to augment the membership of this already virile Christian region whose chief city was Antioch. Syria is a district, little known, but full of significance respecting the history of the true church. Here church organizations and mission enterprises took permanent shape under the hands of the apostles and their immediate successors. From this new base, streams of light went out to the ends of the earth. Historical and Archaeological Background Jerusalem's fall produced its greatest moral effect upon the millions of Jews who did not reside in Palestine. Stunned by this event, they listened to the gospel, and untold numbers turned to Christ. These did a great work in establishing the church in all parts of the world.
Extractions: Contemporary Afyon kilims are made in plainweave or slitweave, and the primary colors employed are apricot, pink, blue, green and yellow. The hues are mainly light, but some new village kilims tend to be garish unless faded in the sun. Wool and mohair are produced in the region and the wool used for kilims is of medium and fine quality. Aydin The town of Aydin stands just below a very few vestiges of the ancient city of Tralles, a city of commerce which incurred Roman rage for its opposition to Roman annexation. It is also known as the birthplace of Anthemius of Tralles, one of the two architects of the great basilica of St. Sophia (Hagia Sophia). Aydin kilims are usually woven in slitweave with medium to fine wool in bright and varied colors. The prayer arch occurs quite often, but perhaps the most characteristic feature of the typical Aydin kilim design is its seeming complexity. This seems to result from the abundance of infill which creates the appearance of minute detail, often associated with fine Turkish miniatures. The Aydin palette usually strikes a chord with Western tastes, the color combinations of reds, greens, blues, browns and apricot hues are made in a way most pleasing to the eye. Rugs of relatively large dimensions are woven separately in two halves.

The Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (built 1606-1616) contains a visual tip-of-the-hat from its architect, Sedefkar Mehmet Aga, to the architects of Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) who worked their miracle a thousand years earlier. Few people realize this among the crowds of tourists who enter it once in their lives to marvel at its grandeur, or among the crowds of locals who pray there every day.

Hagia Sophia In Istanbul, Turkey as a famous museum in Istanbul was rebuilt under Emperor Justinian (532537)by his imperial architects anthemius of tralles and Isidorus of Miletus. http://www.monolithic.com/thedome/hagiasophia/
Extractions: Enlarge Socrates (380-440), the official chronicler of church history, credited the construction of the original Hagia Sophia in 360 to Emperor Constantine I (324-337). Apparently, Constantine I, known as "the Great," first made Christianity his state religion, then began building huge Christian churches throughout Byzantium. One of those was Hagia Sophia whose name means "holy wisdom." Nearly 200 years later, fires and riots destroyed that original edifice. The Hagia Sophia that now serves the world as a famous museum in Istanbul was rebuilt under Emperor Justinian (532-537) by his imperial architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus. Unfortunately, severe earthquakes destroyed their dome, so it had to be rebuilt again in 563, but on a somewhat higher curve. Enlarge Many consider Hagia Sophia the supreme masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. A lofty central dome, 102 feet in diameter and 184 feet in height, spans its spacious nave. That dome sits on pendentives or supporting arches at the corners of a square that make the transition to a circular plan possible. The arches at the east and west are extended and buttressed by great half-domes. Those half-domes rest on smaller, semi domed exedras or porticos. Consequently, the huge main dome is really a succession of smaller domes.
