Myron

The work of the Synax of the Hierarchy of the Ecumenical Throne in Constantinople began yesterday, 1 September, a day coinciding with the start of the new Church Year and now established by the Ecumenical Patria

In a rare event done only once a decade, the Fener Greek Patriarchate has lit the caldrons to prepare some 350 to 400 kilos of the Holy Myron oil, which will be sent to all the Orthodox churches worldwide to be used in baptism.

The cauldrons were lit for three days after Easter on April 17, with the clergymen mixing some 57 different ingredients.

Nilhan Sesalan's works are on display at the 10th Contemporary Istanbul (CI) in the Kuad Gallery, directed by Selin Yurtbilir, and under the curation of Beral Madra.
