Evil Eye Traditions?

I'm fascinated by the concept of the evil eye and its significance in different cultures. As I'm planning a trip to Greece, I'd love to learn more about the traditions and practices related to the evil eye there.

I've heard that it's a common belief in Greece, and that people wear blue eye charms to protect themselves. What other customs are associated with the evil eye?

If you have any personal experiences or stories related to the evil eye in Greece, I'd love to hear them. Any insights into regional variations or historical background would be greatly appreciated too! I love wearing jewelry with evil eye.

Greek Wedding Traditions in Greece

I am helping someone plan a traditional Greek wedding. I'm not entirely sure where to start and would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have experience with Greek weddings.

What are some must-have traditions or customs that I should consider? I’ve heard about the Stefana (wedding crowns) and the Koufeta (sugar-coated almonds), but I’d love to know more about their significance and any other meaningful rituals. How do these traditions typically unfold during the ceremony and reception?

Additionally, any tips on how to blend these Greek elements with a more modern wedding style would be incredibly helpful. I want to create a beautiful fusion that respects tradition while still feeling contemporary.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

What is Philoxenia?

I’ve recently come across the term "philoxenia" while reading about Greek culture, and I’m intrigued by its significance. From what I understand, it translates to "friend to a stranger" or "love of strangers," but I’d love to learn more about what it means in practice.

Can anyone explain the concept of philoxenia and how it manifests in Greek daily life and traditions? Are there any particular customs or examples that illustrate this beautiful aspect of Greek culture?

I’m eager to understand how philoxenia shapes interactions and hospitality in Greece. Any insights or stories would be greatly appreciated!
