            <itunes:subtitle>In 2004, responding to the request of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, and recognizing the importance of St. John Chrysostom and St. Gregory the Theologian to Orthodox Christians around the world, Pope John Paul II agreed to return the relics of these two great Fathers of the Church and Ecumenical Teachers to their original resting place in the Ecumenical Patriarchate.  This program highlights the moving Ecumenical service at the Vatican and the service at the  Ecumenical Patriarchate while informing the viewer of the historical significance of these saints.</itunes:subtitle>

            <itunes:subtitle>In this final part, we examine the fall of Constantinople in 1453, which marks the era in which the Church becomes the only institution perceived by the Greeks as the preserver of their national identity during 400 years of Turkish rule.  By the end of the 19th century, hundreds of thousands of Orthodox immigrants spread throughout the world to the "new" countries, shifting the center of influence within the Orthodox Churches to the New World</itunes:subtitle>
