The well-known cult of Christ Chalkites - mosaic image of Christ above Chalke-gate, main entrance to the Great palace of Byzantine emperors in Constantinople - had received a new impulse from the beginning of the 12th century and miraculous healing of autokrator Alexios I Komnenos by the veil which covered the mentioned mosaic above Bronze Door. The reflections of this cult are still visible on the mosaic representation of Christ on the east wall of narthex inside the katholikon of Chora monastery (Kariye mosque in Istanbul)
