土耳其觀光局刻意選擇202007新月,拍攝宣傳照片,配合政府的政策,將聖索菲亞大教堂,
(東正教)再度變為清真寺,(伊斯蘭教),但是同時開放禮拜,觀光參觀,遊覽等用途.
索菲亞在希臘語裡的意思是神聖智慧[]。其拉丁語名稱則為Sancta Sophia，希臘語全名是「Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας」，解作「上帝聖智教堂」，教堂供奉在正教神學裡的耶穌[]。大教堂稱為「聖索菲亞」（ Ἁγία Σοφία），是特別獻給天主聖智的那一位，即為耶穌基督。這種對耶穌的稱呼可能源自使徒保羅對基督的描繪，哥林多前書1:24 「但在那蒙召的，無論是 猶太人、 希臘人，基督總為神的能力，神的智慧。（Σοφία）」。

作為接近500年來伊斯坦堡最重要的清真寺，聖索菲亞大教堂是眾多奧斯曼帝國時期清真寺如蘇丹艾哈邁德清真寺（藍色清真寺）、塞札特清真寺、蘇萊曼尼耶清真寺、魯斯坦帕夏清真寺、奇力克阿里帕夏清真寺的模範。 .

Hagia Sophia (/ˈhɑːɡiə soʊˈfiːə/; from the Ancient Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, romanized: Hagía Sophía; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia, Holy Wisdom), or the Ayasofya Mosque (Turkish: Ayasofya Cami), and formerly the Church of Hagia Sophia (Church of Holy Wisdom)[2] is a Late Antique place of worship in Istanbul that has served as a Greek Orthodox Christian patriarchal cathedral, a Roman Catholic cathedral, an Ottoman mosque, and a secular museum. Built in AD 537, during the reign of the Roman emperor Justinian I, it was then the worlds largest interior space and the first to employ a fully pendentive dome. It is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture".
