How do I buy one of those really cute Greek outfits for a young girl?
I have been asking around here where I live and have some leads, but I wondered if there was an easier way. Most of the leads I have involved getting it made by hand, and that is expensive.
I am so excited, I have just been asked to be a godmother. I know generally what is expected but I am trying to sort it all out. What is it that godparents need to bring to the Christening? I know that the priest usually provides a list but I want to start getting ahead of it. With Easter just behind us, I don't know how long it will be until I get the list. The Christening isn't for a few months, but I know that the church seems to be a bit behind and I have no idea how long it will be until I get the list!
Whether you are a Greek or a descendant, What is your opinion/feeling about the ancient Greeks of a particular city or state? Spartans, Thessalians, Athenians, Ionians, .....
I remember my family spitting to ward off the evil eye (or something like that). I can't remember all the rules. I am trying to pass down some of the stories to the next generation but I am fuzzy on the details. I recall when my cousin was born, everyone was spitting on him? It seemed a little odd but I was just a kid and recall participating (and it was fun haha).
People were also saying something while spitting. What was it?
I have a friend who is half Greek who is Chrismating into the Orthodox Faith in a few weeks.
I want to get her a gift.
Does anyone have any gift ideas?
