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. |
