What Ottomans Did To Christian Nuns Was Far Worse Than You Think

Описание: #DarkHistory#HiddenHistory #ForgottenWomen

In 1470, an Ottoman army surrounded a tiny convent in the mountains of Thessaly.
Twenty‑three nuns of St. Catherine were marched across Greece in chains, shipped to Constantinople, and buried alive in the shadows beneath Top Kapi Palace. For centuries, their story was erased.

In 2011, archaeologists broke through a forgotten wall under the palace and found a secret chapel: dozens of crosses scratched into stone, traces of convent candle wax, and four Latin words carved by hand:

Lux in tenebrous lucent — “The light shines in the darkness.”

This documentary uncovers the almost‑lost story of the nuns of St. Catherine:
how the Ottoman Empire used erasure instead of massacre, how these women carved their faith into stone beneath the Sultan’s feet, and how their voices survived 500 years of silence.

If you were never taught this in school, that’s the point.
This is history from the archives: missionary letters, Ottoman records, Vatican files, and archaeological reports that reveal what power does to people it wants the world to forget.
