Historic station re-Orients itself.
(From The Yomiuri Shimbun/Daily Yomiuri)
Historic station re-Orients itself
Kazuhiro Katayama Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer
Yomiuri
Arms stretched and skirts billowing out, six men and women spin and spin and spin like tops, part of a ritualistic prayer they perform three times a week at Istanbul's Sirkeci Station, located in the old heart of a city on the edge of two very different continents.
Tourists come from around the world to see the Whirling Dervishes, watching them intently as the rays of the setting sun pierce through stained glass windows set high in the dome of the station's former entrance hall. Vibrant music and dance really suit the station.
Set to music, the revolving dancing is a form of prayer performed by a mystic Islamic sect known as the Mevlevi order.
