Greetings all, 

Today we reflect with sadness the full beginning of the Nika Riots in Constantinople on January 13th in 532 AD:

The riot lasted a week. At its end 30,000 people would be dead, half the city burned and several Senators executed. Hardly " Victory."

Contemplation and prayers are appropriate in memory of this sad event.
