What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong 🎧

[aitan]

Nonostante le labilità della mia mia memoria, ci sono posti che tornano spesso da me e si collocano inequivocabilmente in un luogo specifico del mio vissuto.

Qui, per esempio, siamo al Monastero di Sumela, in Turchia, nei pressi di Trebisonda; a pochi chilometri dalla Georgia e non troppo lontano dall’Armenia.

Ci sono stato due volte, nella realtà, ma ci sono tornato centinaia di volte nella mia testa. In cerca di pace in terra, a 1300 metri di altezza, dopo un lungo cammino nella boscaglia.

E ogni volta quel monastero mi sembra un’apparizione scolpita nella roccia. A memoria perenne.

📍Holly Monastery of Panagia Sumela, Turkey!!

The Holy Monastery of Panagia Sumela is a Christian monument in the Sea of ​​Asia Minor, in present-day Turkey. It functioned as an Orthodox monastery until the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922. It is built inside a cave on a steep slope of Mount Mela, in the hinterland of Trebizond, from where it takes its name, (Pontian: sou Mela, cleaning: eis tou Mela).

indicative list of World Heritage Sites (since 2000)

According to tradition, in 386 the Athenian monks Barnabas and Sophronios were led to the inaccessible mountain peaks of Pontus after an apparition of the Virgin Mary, in order to establish her solitary abode.

The monks Varnavas and Sophronios, with the support of the neighboring Vazelona monastery, built a cell and then a church inside the cave, to which the icon had been miraculously transported. The serious problem of the monastery's water supply was solved, also according to tradition, in a miraculous way.

The Sumela Monastery in Turkey's Black Sea Province of Trabzon

[aretis]

Architecturally mind blowing. The Sumela Monastery in Turkey’s Black Sea Province of Trabzon.

Panagia Sumela ist a greek orthodox Monastery-dated around AD 386, during the reign of the emperor Theodosius I (375–395).Two Athenian monks named Barnabas and Sophronios founded the monastery. It became famous for an icon of the Theotokos known as the Panagia Gorgoepekoos, said to have been painted by the Apostle Luke.

Trabzon (or Trebizond or Τραπεζουντα in modern Greek) is the ‘capital’ of Pontic Greeks, an ethnically greek group with historical presence in the region of Pontus.

Originally, I was aghast that they wouldn’t wanna live in a place like this that is in such good condition but then I looked at the comments I noticed that this is not a Scottish castle. Why? Because it is not in Scotland. It is not even on the continent of Europe at all. It is in Turkey. It’s near Armenia. It’s also not a castle, it’s a monastery. It is still kind of in operation. The religious order doesn’t use the building but it’s still open for tourists. Here is the actual information: 

Sumela Monastery in Turkey. That’s not a castle.

That honestly makes a lot of sense. In many places in the world, monastic orders tend to build their monasteries very far from civilization as a way to withdraw from civilization and the hubbub of every day life. 

THIS is Dunalastair Castle in Scotland. Or, What’s left of it.
