Büyükada Aya Yorgi Kilisesi: Azap Yokuşu, Pazar Ayini ve Aya Yorgi'nin Tarihi

We are at the Aya Yorgi Monastery, which has stood for centuries on the highest hill of Büyükada, with its secrets and rituals. In this vlog, we talk not only about the view, but also about the famous path where faith and patience are tested. What is the real purpose of the rituals performed while climbing that steep hill, known among the people as the "Hill of Suffering" or the "Path of Hardship"? What do the ropes tied to the trees along the way, the barefoot walks, and the vow of silence mean? In this video, we put aside the legends and focused on the clear facts: Who is Saint George? Is he a legendary hero who slayed a dragon, or a soldier who defied the Roman Empire for his faith and died under torture? The Rituals of the Path of Hardship: The psychological and religious foundations behind the silent climb of people who flock here on April 23rd and September 24th. The History of the Monastery: Its deep-rooted history dating back to 1751 and the true story behind the ruins that have survived from Byzantium to the present day. Watch the video to the end to clear up any questions and fully experience the spirit of St. George.
