Across from the Theodosian Wall in Istanbul is an old cemetery, in this neighborhood I visited the legendary Greek Church,

 

Zoodochos Pege was founded over a spring in the reign of the Emperor Leo (457-74); it has remained in Greek hands despite the conquest of the city and is about 500m beyond the city walls. The present church dates from 1833. An interesting legend surrounds the spring: it is said that a monk was frying fish there when he was told the city had fallen. He commented that there was as much chance of the city falling to the Turks as his fish jumping back into the water, at which the half fried fish leapt from his pan into the water ! Fish still swim there today, though the half fried one has not been spotted.

it seems like you`re obsessed with this issue, Ros. why don`t you start a thread to discuss the Germans` "love" for Turks or Jews instead?
