Why Are There Two Easters?

Tsee Who Must Be Obeyed

Even though my mom was born in NJ, like half a dozen of her cousins and her brother, the other kids were still called Americans. To differentiate them from the rest of us, the Greeks. Because we should be proud! Lucky for us she ruled the house and our lives with an iron fist!

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.
