The golden gate has opened once more to the shepherd of the Orthodox world, and the lamps of Hagia Sophia burn again before the faithful.\n\nBefore the holy altar, beneath the gaze of Christ Pantokrator, a new Patriarch is anointed. The bishops proclaim the restoration of the ancient throne to it's see, and the people rejoice as the voice of the Church once more resounds from Constantinople.\n\nThe wounds of the past may not be forgotten, but the light of the Church has returned to the City of Constantine."
