25th of March


Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Greek revolution against Othoman empire. Beside this, we celebrate Theotokos Evangelism, a great day for the greek Orthodox church. Greece celebrates tomorrow...

I like all these anniversaries.Especially anniversaries of great events. When i was a child, that date mean the first ice-cream after the parade. In fact in my birthtown city, was, and still is, a habit children eating a Pitta gyros after parade.A habit, as we all eat bakaliaro fish that day. I liked participating in this parade and now like watching it.Well, now, sometime i'm getting bored but anyway...I like the military march played by bands.And of course, after the parade i like people who have the chance to meet familiar faces.A chance to see some persons after a long time. In small societies the parade was a big event. I remember after lunch time, all were watching on national TV (ERT -YENED)some patriotic greek movies, like "Bouboulina", "Manto Maurogenous", "Souliotes" but the best was "Papaflessas". I still watch it almost every year and as I'm just being informed "Papaflessas" will be shown at 9p.m tomorrow. Nice time...A great movie, a fantastic music by Kostas Kapnisis with some of our best actors above all Dimitris Papamihail. I watch it almost every year and never bored of it.

As we all know, the revolution started at Peloponissos, "Morias" and propably tomorrow we'll travel there. We wanted to go at south east Peloponissos and its a good chance. We have gone there many times and we like this place.A good weather, nice mood, quality music at CD car stereo and we're ready to depart.

Ωραίο και συνοπτικό το αφιέρωμά σου!
Ο Παπαφλέσσας, τι ξεχωριστή και αδικημένη φυσιογνωμία της επανάστασης! Ο "επικοινωνιολόγος" της, ο συντονιστής της!

katerina ante porta: ευτυχώς που στην επανάσταση αναδείχθηκαν μαγάλες φυσιογνωμίες. Ήταν καταλλήλη και η ιστορική συγκυρία.
