An anthropological exploration is a journey that takes place through a long tunnel?4 Truthfully, this process can be portrayed as a journey, that can be gen-erally described as one that starts with a declaration of a dissertation problem-atic followed by narrowing of the field of study, setting out how you are going to approach the study, reviewing all the existing literature and conducting field studies? It is indeed a journey; one whose technical side appears to dominate when set out like this, but a process whose emotional side is quite intense as well? For me, this journey through a tunnel was one where I could not see the light at the end of it until I had advanced quite far into the writing of the dissertation? It wasn’t that it was complete darkness? It was just that there were moments when I felt quite anxious and alone, and yet others when I felt immersed in a completely different world with interviewees? It was a journey where I felt challenged but one that I couldn’t help feeling deeply satisfied for having experienced it? This journey is a transforming one resulting in the reality that you cannot go back to the same emotional, mental and cognitive states you had before you started 5This book is based on my doctoral thesis that involved just such a journey In the part that follows, I will try to describe several aspects of this transformative journey/process. How are the experiences of religious practices connected to and associated with a place? What kind of role does ethnicity or faith play in spatialization? What is the function of rituals and how is meaning imparted to them? How are the connections between daily life and rituals created? How are rituals planned and implemented; what practices are rejected or substituted and how is a correla-tion made between what they represent and their socio-political and psycholog-ical context? In the realm of meaning what is “sacred” equivalent to and how is space made and maintained as sacred? What does sacred mean to the Romioi living in Istanbul and in Athens? How is Istanbul experienced as a sacred place? What is the content of sacredness comprised of ? What is the meaning of being in Istanbul?I am aware that these questions are rather broad in scope, yet I believe many more questions could be asked, and that they should be analyzed in relation to each other for a better comprehension of the subject?This starting point for this dissertation is that religious rituals, along with language, are a fundamental component of identity? This study is not an attempt to research the roots of religious rituals of Istanbulite RomioiOrthodox and the fundamentals of its practices? By virtue of its approach, the anthropology of religion tries to conceptualize the meanings that people attribute to religious ceremonies? Similarly, this study does not rely on, nor try to research, the presumption of universality or specificity of the concept of belief
