In the year 1453, the massive army of the Ottoman Empire was camped outside the protective walls of Constantinople; the inevitable and predestined was about to begin - WAR. The invading empire had gone through rapid expansion all around the grand capital city, on both continents of Europe and Asia. However, the majestic capital city remained a constant source of irritation and frustration, since it was impenetrable.

Although the Byzantine Empire lost almost all of its territories, Constantinople was still theirs, and stood, like a beacon burning brightly, calling would be conquerors’. The ruler of the invading empire, young Sultan Mehmet answered the call now. The city of Constantinople was the one and only - perfect queen city. This was especially true for the young Ottoman sultan, who had a deep passion for the coming cause. No matter what the costs, he was ready to try and enter into the impassable capital city. The inevitable was that eventually Constantinople would be conquered, that was an absolute and complete certainty, as the overwhelming odds were stacked up high in favor of the Ottomans, at the expense of the Byzantines. Total and outright blood-bath was about to explode on both sides of the protective walls, which was a certainty.

Could the conquest of Constantinople be stopped? If it cannot be, since it looks to be played out that way, could the blood-bath be stopped? The Gold Bracelet, once belonging to Mother Mary, given to her by Joseph, was from the heaven-above. Can this simple and humble piece of jewel stop the coming WAR? Listen on!
