File:Saint Mary Of Blachernae 8938.jpg

The first church at the site of the sacred spring was commissioned by the Augusta Pulcheria between 450-453 (the year of her death) and her husband, the Emperor Marcian (450-457). The church was completed and embellished further by the Emperor Leo I (457-474), who added the Hagiasma (fountain of holy water) and the Hagion Lousma (sacred bath). Leo I also built the parecclesion of the Hagia Soros to house the holy mantle and robe of the Virgin that had been brought from Palestine to Constantinople in 473. It was then that the church was endowed with large estates.

On a private site my pictures were often commented by a man who once won a television quiz on Belgian television, specialist subject Turkey. His comments are well-researched, he has a huge archive and speaks Turkish. Hence if sometimes use his comments.
