"The service was the first Greek Orthodox Liturgy to be held at the shrine since 1923, after the Turkish government allowed pilgrims to worship there once a year in a gesture toward religious minorities, in line with Turkey's aspiration to join the EU."

Thanks for the link, Ray.

Many years,

Neil
