The Church of Chora book is the most comprehensive digital guide describing some of the oldest and finest surviving Byzantine mosaics and frescoes in the church of Chora located in Istanbul, Turkey.
The book has been created with such passion and zest, the way I always feel entering the church of Chora. The use of interactive maps, voice narrations, and videos greatly improves reader experience. It provides fine detailed photographs capturing mosaic narrative programs and icons in the narthexes, and frescoes in the Parekklesion. It gives readers an opportunity to learn about the life of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ among other biblical events. One evidently comes to appreciate the work of Theodoros Metochites, the church’s main instigator.

Version 2.0 includes updated historical facts and bibliography links, fixed an issue with one of the videos not playing, and some typos.
