Saint Demetrios His Life: Saint Demetrios was born in Thesaloniki, Greece in 270 AD. He came from a wealthy family and because he was athletic in appearance and heroic in spirit, he became a high-ranking officer in the Roman Army at a very young age. (This is why he is depicted in Byzantine icons in military dress, either standing or riding a horse.) He considered himself a soldier of Christ first, and a military soldier second. He spent most of his time as a devout missionary, preaching the Gospel at secret meetings and converting pagans to the Christian faith. At one of these meetings, he was captured and placed in front of the Emperor Maximian, who wanted to learn the truth about the conversions. Saint Demetrios proclaimed his faith by saying: “...only in Christ do I believe.” With that proclamation, Maximian ordered that Saint Demetrios be sent to prison and subjected to the cruelest tortures. Even though Saint Demetrios was imprisoned, he did not stop preaching the gospel to those who came to see him. In jail, he was visited by his follower, Nestoras. Nestoras was a man of small stature and had come to ask for his beloved teacher’s blessing to fight in the upcoming gladiator games. The emperor had decided to use the games as a duel between Christianity and paganism by challenging any Christian to a fight against the athletic giant, Leo.With the blessing of Saint Demetrios, Nestoras fought and killed Leo. Enraged at the loss of his favorite gladiator, the emperor commanded that Nestoras be beheaded on the spot. Recognizing that Saint Demetrios was the inspiring power behind Nestoras, the emperor ordered that Saint Demetrios be executed by spear on October 26, 306 AD. Christians buried the body of Saint Demetrios at the place of his execution and because of the beautiful scent that emanated from his tomb, he was named Mirovlitis or “The Myrrh Gusher”.

The Greek Orthodox Faith
T
he Orthodox Church derives her teaching from two sources: Holy Scripture and Sacred Traditions. These two sources, according to Orthodox conviction, are of equal value and they complete and compliment each other. We regard Sacred Traditions as an essential complement of Holy scripture, because the apostles wrote the various books which constitute the New Testament from different sources; consequently, it is impossible that Holy scripture should contain all the teachings of our Lord and His apostles, which in the beginning were transmitted orally. Therefore, Sacred Traditions is older than the New Testament.
Our Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church From it’s beginning to the present
T
he first Divine liturgy of the Saint Demetrios Parish was celebrated on October 26, 1952. A small church was purchased on Cypress Street. Refurbished with Orthodox articles, this building served the community until 1964 when the Batista House was quickly remodeled and served all functions of the church and Community until our present community Center came into being in 1970. This building was completely adorned and consecrated on October 1, 1977, by His Eminence Archbishop Iakovos. On October 28, 1989, St. Demetrios celebrated the burning of it’s Mortgage.

Stained glass windows are an American innovation in Orthodox Architecture. In other parts of the world colored small disks are the only way light enters the church. Today most Orthodox Churches in America include brilliant Icons with the window openings. Above from right Archangel Gabriel, Nativity and Crucifixion. Decorated Icons like that on the right are used on the feast day of Icon. The Archangel of Gabriel can be found over the entrance door of Church.
Below we see the Bishops Throne and hand carved Bier of Christ (far right) Icon of Nectarios is a Proskynitarion or place of veneration.

Our Annual Greek Festival hopes to convey to all our visitors a generous sampling of that renowned hospitality and cuisine which is so distinctly Greek. “IT’S ALL ABOUT FOOD”
Delicious is one of the great pleasures of our Greek culture and today the general public enjoys many Greek specialties. Baklava, Pastitsio, Souvlaki, and the Gyro have found their way into the American mainstream. For Greek Americans, food goes beyond these popular images. It is an integral and emotional part of our ethnic identity and one of our most satisfying traditions. Social life often revolves around the table where families bond together and friendships are solidified. Here, amid large platters of food, values are transmitted, old times recounted, politics discussed, and differences aired. Hours pass by as friends and family talk together. Sharing a meal is the most common Greek social activity. Both the quantity and the quality of the food are important. A heavily laden table suggests well-being and generosity. Large quantities of food entice guests to eat as much as they want, and running out of food is considered a great embarrassment. Guests are continually urged to eat and to take second helpings. Increasingly, however, Greek Americans are becoming more aware of the effects of certain foods. In today’s world, favorite old recipes have been modified to lower fat and cholesterol. Olive oil, a Greek mainstay, has no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat. On Religious holidays special food brings a renewed appreciation of tradition. During Lent, Fasolatha (bean soup) reminds one of sacrifice and restraint. At Easter the traditional red eggs, Easter Bread (Tsoureki) a soup called Mayeritsa, and Roasted Lamb enhance the joy of the Resurrection of Christ. Cracking red eggs symbolizes Christ’s emergence from the tomb. The cutting of the New Year’s Vasilopita (bread for St. Basil) and finding the lucky coin focuses everyone on the coming year. Eating and sharing Kollyva (boiled wheat) following a memorial service for a departed loved one reinforces the hope of afterlife. These special foods strengthen beloved Greek traditions.

Greek Recipes BAKLAVA –
(Honey Nut Pastry)
8 cups coarsely ground walnuts i ½ cups granulated sugar 1 lb. butter honey syrup
3 tablespoons cinnamon i lb. filo Whole cloves
In a large bowl mix nuts, sugar and cinnamon. Brush bottom of a 10 x 16 inch baking pan with melted butter. Place six sheets of filo on bottom of pan, brushing each with butter. Sprinkle a thin layer of nuts on top of the sixth sheet. Cover with two more sheets of filo, brushing each with butter, and again sprinkling with nuts. Continue this process until all nuts are used. Finish with six sheets of filo, brushing each with butter. Refrigerate for ½ hour so that it will be easier to cut. Cut Baklava into 1” strips and then cut strips diagonally 1” wide to form small diamond shaped pieces. Place a clove into the center of each piece. Bake in a slow oven at 300oF for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from oven and pour hot honey syrup over Baklava.
DOLMATHES –
(Stuffed Grape Leaves)
50 grape leaves (2 jars) 2 lbs. ground meat, beef or lamb 1 cup long grain rice 1 onion, finely chopped ½ bunch of parsley, finely chopped ½ teaspoon salt
½ cup olive oil ¼ cup lemon juice ¼ cup water 1 small can of tomato paste 2 eggs, beaten ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Remove grape leaves and soak in warm water for approximately 15 minutes. Rinse well and squeeze out moisture. Stem each leaf, and stack on a cookie sheet. In a large mixing bowl, mix together ground meat, rice, chopped onions and chopped parsley, with all additional ingredients. In a large pan place some of the torn and damaged leaves on the bottom of the pan, then add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, one onion sliced and one stalk of celery, sliced. Lay the grape leaves on the table with the vein side up. Place 1 teaspoon of meat mixture on the top part of the leave, fold in the sides and start rolling towards the point of the leaf, roll each leaf as tightly as possible. Place the rolled leaf into your pan in rows using an alternate direction for each row. Continue until the bottom of the pan is covered and then stack them on top of one another. Roll until you have used all the leaves and/or rice mixture. Hold any damaged or torn leaves to the side; these can be placed on the top of your last row of rolled leaves. Place an inverted dish over the top layer of leaves. This is to keep them in place while cooking. Pour enough of the sauce over the leaves to cover up the top row. Cook for approximately 20 minutes after they start to boil on a very slow fire or until rice is tender. Do no overcook and do not cook fast. Sauce for Dolmathes 1 can chicken broth
1 cup water
1/3 cup lemon juice
Mix all together and add to your rolled grape leaves. Be sure there is enough fluid to cover the leaves to the top of the last row. If not enough fluid, add additional water. Serve warm on a platter garnished with slices of fresh lemon and springs of parsley. 59
