Clothed as a crusader in plate armour or mail, often bearing a lance tipped by a cross, riding a white horse, often slaying a dragon. In the Greek East and Latin West he is shown with St George's Cross emblazoned on his armour, or shield or banner.

In hagiography, he is immortalized in the legend of Saint George and the Dragon and as one of the most prominent military saints. His feast day, Saint George's Day, is traditionally celebrated on 23 April.

Today, everywhere in Rhodes island, a special church service was held and wreath laying ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Ensomatosi (reunification) of the Dodecanesian islands to motherland Greece.

While the reunification of the Dodecanesian islands to the mainland officially occurred on October 28, 1947, the anniversary is held on March 7 every year as that was the day the reunification was properly celebrated in Greece in 1948, with a special paniyiri attended by royals.

Happy Great Lent - "Kali Sarakosti"

We honor our Greek Orthodox faith by being committed to its traditions and customs.

Sarakosti fasting (Great Lent) period is about forty days before Easter. The word Sarakosti means 40 in Greek and starts with Clean Monday.

Clean Monday is a public holiday here, where it is celebrated with outdoor excursions, the consumption of shellfish and other fasting food, a special kind of azyme bread, baked only on that day, named "lagana" (Greek: λαγάνα) and the widespread custom of flying kites, as it symbolises "trying to reach the Divine".

The tradition of Vasilopita and the lucky coin for a lucky New Year 💙🇬🇷

When we reflect on the holiday season, memories of New Year's Eve flood our mind, taking us back to our childhood... It was that time when all our loved ones would gather around the table to partake in a special tradition - the cutting of the Vasilopita, a cake with a hidden „flouri“ [Φλουρί in Greek], (lucky gold coin) inside. The thrill of uncovering the coin in our slice filled us with hope and excitement for the year ahead.

Each year, the tradition of sharing the Vasilopita still bring us together and create a sense of unity and good fortune. It is a moment that makes our mouths water and our hearts full of happiness. The tradition symbolizes the start of a new year filled with luck and prosperity, making it a cherished memory that we all hold dear.

Our tradition in detail:

The first part is baking a Vasilopita, with unforgetable smells to overwhelm the house.
The second and the most exciting part is when the household is taking over the process of cutting the Vasilopita cake, and they are crossing the cake three times:

The tradition involves cutting the cake and distributing slices according to a specific order. The first slice is dedicated to Jesus, the second to the Virgin Mary, the third to the house, the fourth to the business, and then one slice is given to each member of the family starting from the eldest, followed by slices for the guests.

As the slices are served one by one, the name of each recipient is announced. The room fills with anticipation as each person inspects their slice, hoping to find the hidden coin. Laughter echoes through the room as the search for the coin begins, and the joy is shared when the coin is discovered by two lucky individuals.
This heartwarming and interactive experience is a cherished tradition that brings good old-fashioned fun. It is eagerly anticipated each year by both the young and the young at heart.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
Casa Famiglia 1910 wishes you Health, Happiness and Heritage Living Holidays!
