Hi/

In remembrance of the fall of Constantinople!
There exists a legend as some would have it,that a marbled King(frozen) shall rise and Agia Sophia(Holy WISDOM is the name of the Church)shall once again be as it was in early Christianity.

These legends referred to the "marble king", who is six-fingered and has left an uncompleted work and will be resurrected, under God's help, in order to bring it into completion.

But who is this "marble King"? Which is his role referred to and how is it related to what is going to happen in the broader area?

Here is more information about the Marbled King!

Constantine XI Palaiologos was the last Christian Emperor of Constantinople and the Byzantine empire. In 1453, when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks, he was last seen fighting at the city walls, but the actual circumstances of his death have remained surrounded in myth. In the years which followed it was said that he was not dead but sleeping - the 'immortal emperor' turned to marble, who would one day be awakened by an angel and drive the Turks out of his city and empire.
