Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
Hagia Sofia was built between 532 and 537, as a Christian church. It has influenced architects ever since. The circular dome covering a square base was developed at the same time as the Basilica plan of the Early Christian churches, in Italy. The Byzantine dome was later adopted into Islamic architecture. However, the Roman dome was constructed differently. Romans placed their dome over a solid circle of walling, best seen in the example of the Pantheon in Rome, instead of using the pendentives (an architectural feature).
However, one shared feature of the time between the two styles was the use of opaque glass mosaics in the interior decoration, covering the walls.
The Hagia Sofia plan is basically an inscribed Greek cross. The hall has four piers at the corners of the square rising in circular arches to support a central dome by means of four pendentives. The upper galleries were used by the women, and were reached by steps inside the building. Much of Hagia Sofia's appeal comes from its size. The inside is dominated by the central dome over 30.5 metres in diameter.
Today after about 1500 years of continue used, Hagia Sofia still dominates the skyline of the Bosphorus. It is truly a milestone, among the world’s greatest architectural achievements, a testament of the sophistication of the 6C Byzantine Empire.

Poorer residents lived in cramped multi-story apartment buildings called insulae that lacked amenities. The Roman Empire built many towns across Britain as administrative centers after conquering the region.

Early byzantine architecture
A study on how the transition of the roman empire from paganism to christianity affect the architecture of sacred places.
Comparison between early christian and byzantine architecture
Early Christian architecture emerged in the 3rd-7th centuries CE as Christianity gained prominence in the Western Roman Empire. Churches were modeled after Roman basilicas with flat roofs. Byzantine architecture developed later between 330-1453 CE in the Eastern Roman Empire after the capital moved to Constantinople. Byzantine churches had central, domed plans and decorative mosaics. They combined Roman traditions with Eastern influences like domes supported by pendentives. Mosaics depicted Christian figures and symbols and emphasized the relationship between church and imperial patronage in the Byzantine Empire.
Byzantine architecture
Byzantine architecture was influenced by its location between Europe and Asia at the junction of important trade routes. Buildings used local materials like brick and stone with marble imported from quarries. The hot climate led to small, high windows and domes with arcaded courtyards. Byzantine architecture fused oriental and Roman styles, using massive decoration and introducing dome construction. Churches often had a central dome surrounded by smaller domes with a smooth external profile and internal/external correspondence. Famous examples include Hagia Sophia, built in 532-537 AD with a large central dome carried by pendentives, and St. Mark's Basilica in Venice symbolizing the city's history.
Byzantine and Christian Architecture
Early Christian and Byzantine architecture originated in Rome and Byzantium (Constantinople). The spread of Christianity led to the need for church architecture to accommodate worship. Early Christian churches adapted the Roman basilica, consisting of a central nave flanked by aisles and ending in an apse, to serve their congregational needs. As Christianity became the dominant religion, imposing church buildings were erected throughout the Roman Empire following the basilica design but with architectural features developing regionally into distinct Early Christian and Byzantine styles.

HISTORY: Early Christian Architecture
The early Christian architecture began in Rome and Constantinople in the early 4th century AD. With Christianity becoming the official state religion under Emperor Constantine, new church buildings were needed for worship. The most common church design was the basilica, adapted from Roman civic buildings. Two prominent early basilica churches were St. John Lateran in Rome (313-320 AD) and St. Peter's in Rome (333 AD), which had a nave and aisles topped by timber roofs. Alternative centralized plans like baptisteries were also sometimes used starting in the 5th century.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
