Thanks, Bahadir; I always wondered what the little top on domes was called. I normally attend a modern church, which uses chairs. I was so happy to find pews with kneelers, that I put down the camera and took a little time to enjoy prayer the way it used to be.

Oh, during my travels I, too, sometimesenjoy the opportunity of a relieving meditation in any place of worship; in a mosque, church, or a synagogue...

You may have heard that Pope Benedict XVI, on his recent trip to Turkey, prayed in a mosque.

He apparently also was about to pray in Hagia Sophia, until being reminded of the officially secular character of that building. :G
