Mehmed the Conqueror and Greek Orthodox Patriarch Mosaic Printed Natural Stone Tabletop

On the parchment held by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror in the mosaic, the following is written in Greek: "ΕΙΣ Ο ΠΑΤΡΙΑΡΧΗΣ ΕΧΩΝ ΠΑΝΤΑ ΤΑ ΠΡΟΝΟΜΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟ ΕΣΟΥ". This expression means: "The Patriarch shall possess all the privileges of those before you." This mosaic symbolizes Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror’s recognition of the former Byzantine-era rights and privileges of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople for Gennadios II. It represents the Ottoman State’s post-conquest religious tolerance and the continuation of the patriarchate’s existence. The mosaic depicting Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror and Gennadios II together is located in the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul. More specifically, it is in the Church of St. George, the main church of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Fener.
