The evening scene at the biggest mosque in Sarajevo. Those who can't get inside can be seen kneeling on the wide portico while a beggan man and woman hover about the entrance. Note the bare feet of the worshippers and the rack of shoes and sandals in the entrance. A Mohammadan always takes off his shoes while at prayer. For the first time in the history of this Bosnian town a religious custom was broken shortly after the American Red Cross arrived. The priests issued a proclamation permitting children and mothers to break a religious fast and partake of food distributed by the Red Cross
Many of the mosques of Constantinople were formerly Christian churches. There is a belief among the Christians that when the old frescoes of Saint Sophia appear again through their coating of Turkish paint, the city will fall to Christian hands In the late afternoon the setting sun silhouettes these giant toothpicks or minarets against the eastern sky making the city from the sea fairyland of beauty.

Cleanliness is part of Godliness with the Turk No matter how black his sins no good Moslem would think of entering the mosque for prayer without having made his ablutions. Outside each place of worship is a trough where each washes his feet before entering the church for prayer. This foot bath is just outside the mosque on the island of Proti where close to a thousand Russian refugees are being cared for by the American Red Cross.
