Memorializing Ma

Grieving a lost loved one doesn’t end with the funeral. My mother is still a part of our family, even though she’s been gone for ten years. Greeks (and all Orthodox) continue to remember, pray for, and celebrate our departed family members. Find out why, and how, we hold memorials year after year. And like everything else, afterwards, we eat!

America & the War for Greek Independence
America & the War for Greek Independence

Ζη’τω η Ελλάδα!! Long live Greece!! March 25 is Greek Independence Day.

In th 1820s, American Philhellenes (φιλ-Ε΄λληνες)- friends of Greece - supported the Greek fight for liberty from 400 hundred years of Ottoman subjugation, despite the US governments non-intervention policy. “Greek Fire,” the passionate obsession with the war, swept through the US, rallying its people to the Greek cause. American citizens raised money for food, medical supplies, and arms.Young American men joined their European counterparts as soldiers fighting a war for liberty, including a diplomat’s son and an enslaved Black man who became heroes in the Greek War for Independence.

Speak Greek

It’s fun learning a few words in another language. It impresses the waiters, tickles the love interest, and makes the natives sit up and take notice. But misunderstandings and malapropisms are bound to happen, in English and in Greek. And pronunciation matters!! MaryAnne Kokidis brings some helpful suggestions - and warnings - to the table when we Speak Greek.

Greek Lent 101
Greek Lent 101

Growing up, I was amazed at how little was known about the Orthodox Church outside. Literally, most Americans still have no idea who or what we are. Great Lent is a HUGE deal in Greek culture, shaping our religious life, home life and even our view of the world. And our Greekness has shaped how we observe Lent, from preparation for the coming fast to the food we eat for over 40 days. And whether you’re practicing the religion or not, if you’re Greek, it’s part of who you are.

I invite you to learn about our customs and why we do the things we do. And we’ll talk food. Because we’re Greek.
