“Today, in the midst of so many dangers that we live, God protects us like a mother protects a young child, when it begins to walk. Now, Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary and the Saints help us the most, but we do not understand it. Imagine how the world would be, if they did not help! "

-St. Paisios the Athonite

The Basilica Cistern, a 1,500-year-old treasure underground in Istanbul. This great work was built in order to collect rainwater and compensate for the city's need during Byzantine times. It is called a Basilica because it was built on the site of an old basilica.
