Istanbul Chora Church dec 2016 1197.jpg

One of my images of the dome of the western bay. In the centre the Virgin holding Christ on her lap with a medallion. The grooves of the dome each have a window, above those we see twelve angels, four of them are arch-angels (each with an orb marked with the letter Chi (X), two orbs also bear a cross. The four are: Gabriel, Michael, Uriel, Raphael.

One of the four archangels.
