Ahmed lived in Constantinople during the 1600s and was an official in the Ottoman Turkish government before his conversion. Ahmed owned a Russian concubine whom he allowed to attend one of the Greek Orthodox churches in Constantinople. In time Ahmed began to notice that when his Russian concubine returned from church she was far more gracious and loving than she was before going. Intrigued by this, Ahmed obtained permission to attend the Ecumenical Patriarch's celebration of the Divine Liturgy in Constantinople. Due to his status and identity, his request was not refused, and he was given a special place when he attended. During the Divine Liturgy, Ahmed saw that when the Ecumenical Patriarch blessed the faithful with his trikiri and dikiri his fingers 'beamed' light onto the heads of the faithful Christians, but not his own. Amazed by this miracle, Ahmed requested and received Holy Baptism. Thereafter Ahmed lived a secret Christian life (this being justified by II Kings 5:17-19 and John 3). We do not know what happened in this period after his baptism, but it is not unlikely that Ahmed's love for the concubine who had led him indirectly to the Orthodox Faith blossomed. It is also likely that the future martyr met with a spiritual father to learn more about the Faith he had adopted and the Lord he now served. Whatever happened during this period, one day a group of arguing officials asked Ahmed for his opinion of their dispute, to which he replied that "The Christian Faith is better" (no doubt their argument concerned the superiority of Islam versus Holy Orthodoxy).
"Are you a Christian?" an officer smilingly asked the saint. "Yes, I am a Christian," the saint replied slowly, peacefully, and clearly, smiling at the officer who had questioned him. Ahmed endured all the tortures he was then subjected to by his erstwhile compatriots and was martyred on May 3, 1682.
Constantine was born into a poor Turkish Muslim family. The saint, along with a brother and sister, was brought up without a father, and when he grew older he began working in the Anatolian port city of İzmir as a peddler of greens in the marketplace.
In the course of his work Constantine frequently visited the residence of the Metropolitan of Smyrna, where he met Christians and began unintentionally to learn about the Orthodox Faith. It was through his visits to the metropolitan's house that Constantine formed friendships with Christians and started to learn Greek.
In the midst of this Constantine heard something from the Gospel that impacted him tremendously and prompted him to turn to Christ and seek Holy Baptism. The Smyrnaean Christians, however, did not dare to baptize him since they were forbidden to proselytize by law and would have been killed together with Constantine if it had been discovered that they helped a Muslim convert to Christianity. Because of this the Smyrnaeans sent Constantine to Mount Athos to be baptized by the monks there. On the Holy Mountain the saint visited four monasteries seeking to be baptized and was refused Holy Baptism by all of them. He was on the verge of despair when the abbot of the Iviron monastery, Gregory V, agreed to baptize him personally. It was during his chrismation that the Turkish saint was given the name Constantine.
Caleb Barnes
For some time after his baptism, Constantine lived on Mt. Athos under the spiritual supervision of the elder Gabriel in the Skete of Kafsokalyvia. Having lived under the direction of the elder, Constantine sought and received the blessing of the Athonite elders to proclaim the Gospel to his sister in Magnesia (in western Anatolia). This was not to be, for on his way to Magnesia Constantine was arrested and brought before a Turkish judge, before whom he confirmed his renunciation of Islam and declared his faith in Christ. The saint was consequently beaten and imprisoned while the judge waited for the arrival of the Pasha of Machsonisia.
Although upon his arrival the pasha promised Constantine wealth and honor if he would return to Islam, the saint refused his offers and reaffirmed his confession of Christ and his commitment to the Christian Faith.
Constantine was tortured for his refusal. Despite the incredible suffering he endured, Constantine remained faithful to Christ and, seeing this, the pasha sent him to Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) to be sentenced.
In Constantinople the saint went through a period of penal servitude before being tortured and imprisoned yet again. While Constantine was in prison a priest visited him and, seeing his young age, told him that he could arrange his ransom by the Constantinopolitan Christians.
Constantine, ready to die for his Lord, refused the priest's offer, telling him that the Theotokos herself had told him of his imminent martyrdom. The next day Constantine was sentenced to hanging because of his conversion to Christianity. The saint-martyr was hung on June 2, 1819

Good post. Orthodox Balkanfags and Greeks are mongrels today because they married whatever as long as it was orthodox: armenians, gypsies, turkroaches etc
Greeks are pure and better than other humans, that's why you post here 24/7.

This poster is a Turk who pretends to be Greek (difference?) because he was rejected by his kin on Sup Forums. He's sad, ugly and inbred and derails threads with his bullshit spamming
Mother and father are village people. Mother was never allowed schooling or any kind of education, was later sold as a nanny under the guise of marriage and suffered my grandmother from my father's side. It is really a cliche, I shit you not. She became pregnant with me and I learned later she tried to kill herself with me. Never wanted me, used me to vent her frustration at how unfair life is. Threatened and punished me for no reason and made me feel worthless. Nowadays she is like "I didn't do anything like that :^) it was your own fault for being like that:^) Why can't you be like these healthily raised children :^) why you got no gf :^) you see me so much in other women that you gave up at any normal relationship :^) Something happened by our own fault? Your fault, should have told us what we did wrong while you were not there to warn us :^) Like we would ever listen to a child, kek!"
That said, I left and now she harps on my younger brother's. That's life

Brayden Davis
So what's your point? Are you Christian?
Juan Miller
>not subhuman
Luis Nelson

Tyler Anderson
He posted FACTS.
Fact is that you are mongrels today largely due to jewish religion enabling the population to intermarry with nonwhite subhumans like ethiopians, armenians, turks and gypsies as long as those were orthodox
this is what albanian inferiority complex and asiatic mentality combined look like
he is jealous of Greeks

So where is that evidence for based pro-White Christianity when in REALITY we have DOCUMENTED evidence that Orthoshit supported mongrelization with converts?
He looks half caste aborignal, because both of his parents are Greek. Don’t mix it:)
Turkey sure was better when it was under Greek rule.

Fuck you, my brother married a russian. My other brother married another serb.
Out of spite, I'll marry a nigger.

A cousin married a half Albanian girl and her family is nice. Then again her dad fled Albania because he thought it was kinda a shithole.

Byzantine empire was barbaric multiracial egalitarian state with shitton of tortures, redtape, cruelty and asiatic despoty towards its subjects. You wouldn’t want to live in any of those place be it historic Turkey, Byzantine, Ottoman Empire, Greece or whatever
Julian Miller
Yeah. Though I am used to Asia Minor.
Plus it is where the original cSanta Claus" / Saint Nicholas is from.
Dominic Bennett
Maybe this map will help you understand Albania and Albanians.
They are just autistic no-lifers, especialy the albanian. I guess every Greek/Balkan/Orthodox thread is cursed with these mongrels.

Enjoy childless Mama Merkel and her orc invasion. The irony is that you're one of them most likely. A 1990s "refugee" that got a free ticket to civilization for being pathetic rather than useful.
No amount of kvetching will change the fact that you're a jew. Probably got a surname like (((Abramov))) or (((Davidov))).
Parker Ramirez
>Jews don’t want you to mix with racial Jews and nonwhite subhumans I wish it was the general Israeli and Jewish view on Whites, but it isn’t. Calling anyone you disagree with is a “jew” won’t help to present christcucks as intelligent people

Albanians had it better in Byzantine empire than in Ottoman one, for reals, Byzantines kept the Albanians from becoming the slaves of the Venetian jews as long as they could. When Byzantine empire was gone and the Ottomans conquered Balkans, they low-keyed genocided your people and enslaved/forced converted your people. Your greatest hero and one of the great kebab removers was a christian martyr that did everything in his power to keep albania christian.
You both should get permabanned. You have done nothing but shitting up this board for months. Zero contributions what so ever aside from constant shitposting. Fucking third world apes
David Baker
Good Morning to you as well.

I live in one of the richest regions of germany, europe, world and have always facts to prove everything I write.
the albanian is just a useless subhuman
David Adams
Byzantines even gave the Albanians self-rule, and titled them archons to rule their own state. Ottomans turned you into slave soldiers.
>According to some scholars, Progon's realm was the first Albanian state during the Middle Ages.[3][4][5] Pipa and Repishti conclude that Arbanon was the first sketch of an "Albanian state", and that it retained semi-autonomous status as the western extremity of an empire (under the Doukai of Epirus or the Laskarids of Nicaea).[6] The rulers were titled archon by the Byzantines
You are always butthurt to no end and shitpost just as much as the abanigger. You faggots need to be permabanned
Ayden Hill
Are you orthodox?
Nathaniel Wilson
He's Antioch Greek who thinks there's going to be another Byzantine empire. You'd think those retards would try to help and contribute to Greece first before engaging themselves in delusions.

I wouldn't do that if someone bans the albanian subhuman.

No, you shitpost every single thread, even when the albanigger doesn't show up. Thread about Germany? Yup you go there and shit it up Thread about any balkan nation? Idem Thread about anywhere in Western Europe? You bet Thread about East Europe? Cue the "slavs are subhuman" shitposting. Both of you are the cancer of this board and I hope mods will soon realize that
David Young
i dont and i mostly go to those threads if they insult Greeks
Ayden Harris
Thank you for providing an example of what I was talking about.
By saying ungracious shit like this while pretending to be Greek, he aims to turn everyone else against the Greeks.

This board is full of stupid Americans, immigrants in Western countries and shitskins behind meme flags. They are the trash of each country.
Their opinions are worthless.

Everyone was a fucking slave in the Byzantine empire. Have you seen the legal codex of it and what kind of punishments and rules they imposed on those living in it? Mongoloid, I literally created the amerimongrel thing and pushed amerishits away. The “people” who can’t stand what I post are impoverished shitskin neets that can’t face the truth of race reality. I wish Austria-Hungary just did full scale extermination campaign to southeast. Nothing worse than a mongrel that is diluted enough to believe himself to be European
