Description

Sumela Monastery, built on a steep cliff on the outskirts of Karadag overlooking the Altindere valley, within the borders of Altindere Village of Macka District of Trabzon, is popularly known as “Virgin Mary” among the locals. Located approximately 300 meters above the valley, the building has continued the tradition of establishing monasteries outside the city, in forests, caves and watersides.
It is said that the monastery founded in the name of the Virgin Mary took its name “Sumela” from the word “melas” meaning “black”. Although this name is thought to come from the dark Montenegro Mountains where the monastery was founded, the word Sumela can be attributed to the black color of the Virgin Mary depiction there.
According to legend, the monastery, which was founded by two priests named Barnabas and Sophranios from Athens during the time of Byzantine Emperor Theodosius I (375-395), was repaired by one of his generals, Belisarios, in the 6th century, when Emperor Justinianus requested that the monastery be repaired and expanded.
