This is the largest and most important dans dejstvujušči monastery in Constantinople. It is located not far from the walls, outside, on the west and touches the Belgrade forest, excursion places and place for the inhabitants of the capital. This end of the Turks called BALC, in the spirit of our language, fish End.
And why they call it so, says the legend by which the prior of this monastery Peka fish when monks came to tell him that Constantinople fell to the Turkish ruke.On is ćutao and when they insisted, unbelieving said, "If the capital fell some of these fish live ispečena "and happened. This is a turkey version, they are happy to talk but it is quite possible to be so happened!
Orthodox Byzantine versions and sources have a similar basis, when it is a nice environment, the source, later Istočnik, more later Istočnik life, fish, etc.. These sources are based on two stories:
- The first, which says historian Prokopije, Emperor Justinian was hunted to the end of this beautiful and at the same time he pointed out a small church with a large number of people, gathered around it. Lakes and streams incredibly clear water were posvuda and old priest stood in front. He said Caesar that this is a miraculous water here and built a large monastery, part of which is namenio zidanju St. Sofia. Car is so done and it was 560, as another historian says, Kedrenus.
- According to the second variant, which took place a bit earlier and said later chronicler, Nikifor Kalist, a young soldier latter car Lav I was at the gates of gold / that are in the vicinity / met blind man, who asked him to find a little water drink. Car latter is a time osvrtao, until he heard the voice that it refers to the source here. Brought the water, a blind person is the things that will soon become the car and ordered him to then up the monastery, where the draw water. It was about 470 years.
This second interpretation could be životnije, because we know that ...... prior Zeno, prior monastery Presvete Mother of God - from Pege, participated in the fifth Ecumenical council, and the other in Constantinople, 553 years.
