Sümela is the Greek name. It is estimated to have been completed in around AD 395. Trabzon Greek Emperor, Alexios III contributed to its construction, which was performed during his era. For this reason, it is evidenced in the work that it was founded by Alexios III. The most important aspect that makes Sümela valuable to Christians is the picture of Virgin Mary. It is believed that portrait of the Virgin Mary drawn by Saint Lukas, one of the disciples of the Jesus, reached here with the priests establishing the monastery. However, no such portrait has been found to date. Transportation to the monastery is achieved by vehicles to a certain point. Then a path is followed through a forest.
