We should be Christians in deed, as well as in name

The beginning of St Ignatius of Antioch's letter to the Magnesians

Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the church at Magnesia on the Maeander, a church blessed with the grace of God the Father in Christ Jesus, our Saviour, in whom I salute you. I send you every good wish in God the Father and in Jesus Christ.

  I was delighted to hear of your love of God, so well-ordered and devout, and so I decided to address you in the faith of Jesus Christ. Honoured as I am with a name of the greatest splendour, though I am still in chains I sing with the praises of the churches, and pray that they be united with the flesh and the spirit of Jesus Christ, who is our eternal life; a union in faith and love, to which nothing must be preferred; and above all a union with Jesus and the Father, for if in him we endure all the power of the prince of this world, and escape unharmed, we shall make our way to God.

  I have had the honour of seeing you in the person of Damas your bishop, a man of God, and in the persons of your worthy presbyters, Bassus and Apollonius, and my fellow-servant, the deacon Zotion; may I continue to take delight in him for he is obedient to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbyters as to the law of Jesus Christ.

  Now it hardly becomes you to presume on your bishop’s youth, but rather, having regard to the power of God the Father, to show him every mark of respect. This, I understand, is what your holy presbyters do, not taking advantage of his youthful condition but deferring to him with the prudence which comes from God, or rather not to him but to the Father of Jesus Christ, to the bishop of all. So then, for the honour of him who loves us, it is proper to obey without hypocrisy; for a man does not so much deceive the bishop he can see as try to deceive the bishop he cannot see. In such a case he has to reckon not with a man, but with God who knows the secrets of the heart.

  We should then really live as Christians and not merely have the name; for many invoke the bishop’s name but do everything apart from him. Such men, I think, do not have a good conscience, for they do not assemble lawfully as commanded.

  All things have an end, and two things, life and death, are side by side set before us, and each man will go to his own place. Just as there are two coinages, one of God and the other of the world, each with its own image, so unbelievers bear the image of this world, and those who have faith with love bear the image of God the Father through Jesus Christ. Unless we are ready through his power to die in the likeness of his passion, his life is not in us.

I was asked about “epiphany windows” in the temple of Artemis in Magnesia. The ask was lost to Tumblr’s bad web design, but the answer I was able to find:

“Some Hellenistic temples in Asia Minor had “epiphany windows” in their pediments (e.g., Temple of Artemis at Magnesia-on-the-Maeander; Temple of Artemis at Ephesus), possibly used for staging dramas for a populace gathered below (on epiphanies, see Platt 2011). These would not have admitted light to the interiors but rather to the attic spaces behind the pediment (Figure15.3, 31.2)“

But the splendor of the god, to whom all of the treasure rooms of the world have been opened, is overcast suddenly by a pro-found darkness. Behind the enraptured truth there looms an-other truth which brings on horror and catches up the dancers in a madness which is no longer sweet but somber. This is represented in the myth, first of all, by the motif of severe persecution. The first account which Greek poetry gives us of the plight of the women of Dionysus speaks of their horror-stricken flight from Lycurgus, who beats them unmercifully. In their fear they drop the holy objects and think only of saving themselves. They have reason for their despair. Dionysus, himself, is beaten and in his fright has to take refuge in the depths of the sea. 'What this myth relates was cult practice at the festival of the Agrionia. There the priest of Dionysus in Orchomenus pursued a band of women with the sword and struck down all whom he could reach. Thus death encroaches upon the realm of the god, who is extolled as "the joyful one", and the "giver of riches". In fact, his realm actually becomes the realm of death, for the Agrionia festival, like the Anthesteria, the spring festival of Dionysus, was a festival of the dead. Dionysus, himself, is a suffering, dying god who must succumb to the violence of terrible enemies in the midst of the glory of his youthful greatness. His grave was in Delphi, in the Holy of Holies. Like him, the women who had raised him and had played his ecstatic games with him all met violent deaths as well. It was said that the "women of the sea" whom he had brought along with him from the Islands, lay buried in Argos, where Perseus had confronted him.  And there, too, it was believed, were found the graves of the three Theban maenads who were supposed to have established the cult of Dionysus in Magnesia on the Maeander. Ariadne, the symbol of womanhood which gave itself up to Dionysus in love, is at the same time the symbol of the suffering and death of all those who are associated with him. Her grave was exhibited in several places. She, too, was sup-posed to have hanged herself like the daughter of Icarius, the murdered friend of Dionysus, Erigone, who was commemorated on the day of the dead of the Feast of the Pots. In her cult not only days of joy were celebrated but also days of sorrow, and it is highly significant that the corpse of the murdered Hesiod was said to have been washed up on the shore by the waves of the sea on the day of an Ariadne festival in Locris.

About Bodrum Blue Cruise Tour

Finally in 262 A.D., if the temple of Diana was all over again burned, its influence experienced up to now departed that it was under no circumstances all over again rebuilt. Diana was lifeless. Ephesus turned a Christian city, and in 341 A.D. a council from the Christian church was held there. https://www.packagetourturkey.com/tour/istanbul-ephesus-bodrum-blue-cruise-tour/ missing its great importance and diminished in inhabitants. The sculptured stones of its terrific properties, which have been no longer in use and ended up falling to ruins, were being carried absent to Italy, and especially to Constantinople for The nice church of Saint Sophia. In 1308 the Turks took possession of your little that remained of the city, and deported or murdered its inhabitants. The Cayster river, overflowing its banking companies, little by little lined with its muddy deposit the place in which the temple of Diana experienced when stood, and at last its pretty web-site was forgotten. This was the Conference-position of the 3rd Ecumenical Council in 431 CE. It was initially a museion (a Centre of research and training). A pillared basilica was inserted within the 4th century. Для их изготовления использовалась дубовая кора, не влияющая ни на вкус, ни на запах продукта. Раскопки показали, что Клазомены – самый древний центр производства оливкового масла в античном мире. In the point out agora, the outdated key Avenue of Ephesus carries on on the jap entrance in the excavation web page, ending outside the house the enclosure within the three-arched Magnesian Gate, the commencing-point in the street to Magnesia on the Maeander River. Культурное значение города Эфес переоценить трудно, он является одним из самых великих памятников археологи. В свое время здесь сосредоточилась культура и торговля все Римской империи. Baharın gelişiyle gittikçe artan ve yaz mevsiminde neredeyse her parka yayılan festivaller binlerce kişinin katılımı ile gerçekleşiyor. Bu yazımızda İstanbul'un her yıl düzenli bir şekilde organize edilen festivallerinden bazılarına göz atacağız. Among the many paintings was one because of the renowned Apelles, a native of Ephesus, representing Alexander the Great hurling a thunderbolt. It was also a sanctuary for your legal, a style of metropolis of refuge, for none may very well be arrested for any crime whichever when in just a bowshot of its partitions. There sprang up, therefore, about the temple a village by which the robbers and murderers and also other criminals produced their residences. Don't just did the temple deliver huge quantities of pilgrims to town, as does the Kaaba at Mecca with the existing time, but it really used hosts of people aside from the clergymen and priestesses; between them ended up the large amount of artisans who produced visuals in the goddess Diana, or shrines to provide on the visiting strangers. i really appreciated your post , but I've just one dilemma , do I want to own visa to go to turkey if I'm from Italy ? It appears like you ended up misusing this element by going far too quickly. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it. На тротуаре Мраморной улицы в Эфесе имеется изображение ноги и женской головы. Это одна из самых ранних реклам. Она указывает путь в бордель. Standing fifty two meters tall, the tower was Istanbul's tallest developing for hundreds of years. The tower has become restored numerous situations through the years resulting from remaining damaged by fire and storms. In 263 CE, in the event the Goths ruined the city on a person in their raiding expeditions, it heralded the start of town's sluggish decrease, Along with the relevance and sizing of Ephesus progressively dwindling a result of the continual silting up of its harbor. Гора Сипули-даг была разбита мощным землетрясением на отдельные части-утёсы. Также землетрясением была уничтожена древняя столица Мэонии (Лидии), богатой золотом страны, — Танталида, располагавшая на склонах горы. Coveted by empires over the hundreds of years, straddling both Europe and Asia, Istanbul is without doubt one of the environment's fantastic metropolises.

What is BATTLE OF BAPHEUS? What does BATTLE OF BAPHEUS mean? BATTLE OF BAPHEUS meaning - BATTLE OF BAPHEUS definition - BATTLE OF BAPHEUS explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under http://ift.tt/yjiNZw license. The Battle of Bapheus occurred on 27 July 1302, between an Ottoman army under Osman 1st and a Byzantine army under George Mouzalon. The battle ended in a crucial Ottoman victory, cementing the Ottoman state and heralding the final capture of Byzantine Bithynia by the Turks. Osman 1st had succeeded in the leadership of his clan in c. 1282, and over the next two decades launched a series of ever-deeper raids into the Byzantine borderlands of Bithynia. By 1301, the Ottomans were besieging Nicaea, the former imperial capital, and harassing Prussa. The Turkish raids also threatened the port city of Nicomedia with famine, as they roamed the countryside and prohibited the collection of the harvest. In the spring of 1302, Emperor Michael IX (r. 1294–1320) launched a campaign which reached south to Magnesia. The Turks, awed by his large army, avoided battle. Michael sought to confront them, but was dissuaded by his generals. The Turks, encouraged, resumed their raids, virtually isolating him at Magnesia. His army dissolved without battle, as the local troops left to defend their homes, and the Alans, too, left to rejoin their families in Thrace. Michael was forced to withdraw by the sea, followed by another wave of refugees. To counter the threat to Nicomedia, Michael's father, Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328), sent a Byzantine force of some 2,000 men (half of whom were recently hired Alan mercenaries), under the megas hetaireiarches, George Mouzalon, to cross over the Bosporus and relieve the city. At the plain of Bapheus (an unidentified site, perhaps to the east of Nicomedia but within sight of the city) on 27 July 1302, the Byzantines met a Turkish army of some 5,000 light cavalry under Osman himself, composed of his own troops as well as allies from the Turkish tribes of Paphlagonia and the Maeander River area. The Turkish cavalry charged the Byzantines, whose Alan contingent did not participate in the battle. The Turks broke the Byzantine line, forcing Mouzalon to withdraw into Nicomedia under the cover of the Alan force. Bapheus was the first major victory for the nascent Ottoman Beylik, and of major significance for its future expansion: the Byzantines effectively lost control of the countryside of Bithynia, withdrawing to their forts, which, isolated, fell one by one. The Byzantine defeat also sparked a mass exodus of the Christian population from the area into the European parts of the empire, further altering the region's demographic balance. Coupled with the defeat at Magnesia, which allowed the Turks to reach and establish themselves on the coasts of the Aegean Sea, Bapheus thus heralded the final loss of Asia Minor for Byzantium. According to Halil Inalcik, the battle allowed the Ottomans to achieve the characteristics and qualities of a state. The Ottoman conquest of Bithynia was nonetheless gradual, and the last Byzantine outpost there, Nicomedia, fell only in 1337.
