In 1470, an entire convent vanished from the historical record.
No songs.
No letters.
No survivors' testimonies.
Just silence… until a hidden chamber beneath the Ottoman imperial palace was uncovered in 2011 — a room filled with crude crosses carved into stone, traces of wax, and a Latin phrase whispered across five centuries: Lux in tenebris lucet — The light shines in the darkness.
This documentary from Beyond The Ages uncovers the forgotten disappearance of 18 nuns from the Convent of St. Catherine in Thessaly. Their story was buried by empire, erased from official chronicles, and hidden beneath the foundations of Constantinople itself.
Through missionary letters, Venetian reports, and Ottoman archival fragments, we reconstruct what happened — the siege, the forced march, the sea voyage in chains, and the underground chapel where these women refused to let their identities be erased.
This is not a tale of conquest.
It is a tale of endurance.
Of memory surviving where bodies did not.
Of voices that empire tried to silence — and the marks they left behind so the world would one day find them again.
If you believe forgotten histories deserve to be remembered, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Beyond The Ages.
