Thought for Today

"So the church has become a spetacle of marvelous beauty, overwhelming to those who see it, but to those who know it by hearsay altogether incredible.  For it soars on high to match the sky, and as if surging up from amongst the other buildings it stands on high and looks down on the remainder of the city."

Procopius [AD c. 499-565]

Byzantian administrator and historian

of the church of the Hagia Sophia
