The Chapel of St. Mary of Vlachernae

The chapel was established within the church when it bacame the Greek Orthodox church of St. Ambrosios and St. Stylianos.

​

As the building was honouring the Saint Mary, the Mother of God when built, this had to be incorporated, hence we dedicated a small part of the Church as a chapel under the name of "St.Mary of Vlachernae". Vlachernae, modern name Ayvansaray, is a place near the Golden Horn and Bosphorus in Istanbul, where a Shrine is built on top of the original Byzantine Church which was burnt down and rebuilt a couple of times over the years.
