%X Traces of the collective memory of a society can be found in various places. In particular, places where members of the community perform their daily practices and/or visit frequently in specific times are the places where social reproduction is the strongest. In this way, it is possible to increase the communication within the group, develop the sense of belonging and construct the identity of community. For this reason, these places where the memories of the groups are tied are called memory places and the sanctuaries have a special position in these places. In this respect, it is not a coincidence that the sanctuaries are mostly at the center of the spatial organization of the communities. The sanctuaries are a place of existence, especially for migrant groups whose ethnic composition is different from the majority. From this point of view, in this study, the meaning of the Church of Aya Panteleymon in Istanbul is discussed as a place of memory. The aim of this study is to understand the practices of different groups of migrants coming together through common religion in the process of creating collective memory. This study was conducted by using qualitative research methods. Within the scope of the study, it is seen that there are various ruptures in the historical existence of the church. However, it was understood that after the collapse of Soviet Union, the church became active again. Despite historical breaks, intergenerational intersections, and changing meanings, the church's community thinks that the church is an adhesive that protects the memory of society and some people create a new identity by combining Orthodoxy with the idea of the Soviet Union
