The Virgin Mary Blaherna church complex consists of 3 buildings; Virgin Mary [Theotokos] Church, Hagia Soros Chapel and Hagion Lousma Bath.
Christ Pantokrator [literally the Almighty in Greek], from whom the emperor's rightful authority descended, and the Theotokos, or Virgin Mary, whose miraculous icon was believed to protect the city [Constantinople] at the Church of Blachernae.
This icon, which was painted in encaustic with wax mixed with the ashes of sixth century saints, was thought to have saved the city from the Sasanian Persians and the Islamic Arabs on more than one occasion.
Anonymous folles coins of this type feature the patrons of Constantinople and the Byzantine imperial household.
