In the cathedral of Saint

George, many years

now, had been

established an annual

commemoration on

behalf of the souls "of

the heroic emperor

Constantine Palaiologos

and all the other brave

defenders in the fall of

Constantinople in

 1453".

In 29 of May early in

the morning, the bell

tolls while the Greek

flag waving at half mast

 in the church.

This commemoration

 it is a simple one and

 devout. 

The elder people

remember that our

ancestors perform this

national duty, as they

said, the years of

Turkish slavery

regularly, and many

times at the risk of their

lives.
