I am not easily impressed by buildings but standing in a church that is almost 1500 years old moved me. for almost a thousand years this was the largest place of worship in the world, firstly a church then a mosque and now a museum but it still exudes spiritaulity and is a testament to the skill of the builders as it has withstood fires, sackings by the crusaders and earthquakes. In Scotland we were probably still living in wooden shacks. Large sections of the original mosaic remain with this small section showing Jesus and John the Baptist with my wife completing the scene.
