200TH ANNIVERSARY FROM THE GREEK REVOLUTION of 1821

Leave a comment

Today Greece celebrates the 200th anniversary of the revolution against the slavery from Ottomans.

The History of 200 years since the Greek revolution of 1821 teaches us a lot but the essence is one: In national issues, we fail divided and we win united. This becomes even more crucial for nations like Greece that have small population. However, the case of Greeks indicates that the rich quality of them overcomes the disadvantage of the small quantity.
The Greek civilization is the oldest in Europe and unique in the world. It’s the Greek gene, quality, Philhellenes and the allies like United Kingdom, Russia and France that contributed significantly to the Greek revolution and liberation.

Happy and joyful Greek Revolution Anniversary 1821-2021. Let the following years are years of peace and prosperity

Great Saturday – the resurrection of Jesus Christ

Leave a comment

The Holy week ends on Great Saturday with The resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Christians all over the world celebrate the win of life against death and the spread of the joyful message that The Son of God resurrected.

Pilgrims are gathered in and around the churches in order to listen and watch the relevant Mass Service. This day also signifies the punishment of The Betrayer Judas, who betrayed Jesus Christ.

The pilgrims prepare an effigy of Judas that is burnt on Great Saturday in order to signify the punishment of betrayers.

A brief description from The New Testament states what happened for the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

“The burial of Jesus Christ watched from a distance, Mary Magdalini, Maria of Klopa and Salomi. These women knew where Jesus was buried, so they went to the market in order to buy perfumes. However, they waited The Great Saturday to pass since this day no tasks were allowed. So early on Sunday morning they ran towards the tomb in order to put the perfumes on the body of Jesus.

As they were approaching they spoke to each other: <Who will remove the heavy stone from the gate of the monument?>

Nevertheless, they witnessed that the heavy stone was missing from the entrance. Their surprise became great fear, when they entered the tomb. Instead of finding the body of Jesus, they saw an angel to sit on the right of the tomb. His face was shining like the sun and his clothes were white like the snow.

The angel calmed them down by saying: <Why are you seeking the alive among the dead? He is not here, but he resurrected. Here is the place he was put. Go and tell to his students, that he will wait for them in Galilea.>

But what had happened?

Jesus Christ had been resurrected between midnight of Saturday towards early Sunday morning. Then an angel from the sky came down and moved the stone from the tomb entrance. He did it for the women who had to see the tomb empty.

It is said that an earthquake happened during the resurrection and the guards fell down with their face towards the ground from their fear. When, the guards recovered, they ran towards the Head Priests and described the happenings. They could not believe it, so the priests gave money to the guards in order not to tell to anyone that Jesus resurrected.

In the meantime, the women ran to the students of Jesus to announce the good news. However, they saw the resurrected Jesus in front of them. They approached him with joy and fear and Kneeled.

He gave them courage by saying: <Do not be afraid. Go to my students and tell them to wait for me in Galilea. There we will meet.

Indeed, the eleven students went to Galilea. They found him, they worshiped and they listened him saying: <Go to every nation, to teach the gospel. You will baptize them in the Name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit>……

Maxim for the children

Leave a comment

If I were a father, I would reward my children with gifts and pocket money for good grades and completion of tasks for the household.

Their value would be analogous to the family income.

Thoughts fROM THE Present century for the Hellenic war of independence

Leave a comment

The Hellenic war of Independence against The Ottoman Empire was ignited the first days of March and was declared officially and more widely on 25, March, 1821 in some territories of Greece by notable patriots like Paleon Patron Germanos, Papaflessas, Theodoros Kolokotronis, Andreas Miaoulis, Konstantinos Kanaris and others.

However, the Greek Revolution was prepared some years ago in 1814 by a secret organisation named “Filiki Eteria”. It is admirable how the Greeks started the Revolution even if they had to start fighting against significantly more powerful joint armed forces like The Ottoman Empire and Egypt.

It is notable that The Ottoman Empire occupied Greece for about 400 hundred years before the start of The Revolution. The Hellenic war of independence took place from 1821 until 1830.

In the beginning of the war, Greeks were fighting alone but later “Three Great Powers” named United Kingdom, France and Russia supported significantly Greece with their fleets, army and finance.

So Greeks have to be grateful to these “Great Powers” because they would not have gained their independence without them.

The last time, it is noticed increased hostility between Greece and Turkey for various reasons, like the sea borders, petrol and gas reserves in Greece. These resources should have been exploited much earlier, so that Greece could have paid gradually his big debt and Greek people had not suffered from austerity and other derived consequences.

Tomorrow, we complete 198 years, since the declaration of The Greek-Ottoman war. Greeks, Philhellenes and The Greek diaspora march and celebrate this national feast.

These are some thoughts from the present century, concerning The Greek War of Independence.

MAIN MENU “HELLENIC-CHINESE RED SOUP”

Leave a comment

INGREDIENTS

1 Kg Chinese Rice “Nihaki”

1 chicken cube “Knorr”

3 sliced big garlics

3 Big Spoons Virgin Olive Oil

1 small spoon salt

3 big spoons of compressed tomatoes “Kyknos”

3 stirred chicken eggs

10 sliced portions of bacon

10 sliced Mushrooms

1 little bottle of Red “Tobasco”

EXECUTION

  1. We put 6 litres of water in a big stewpot.
  2. We put all the ingredients except from the “Tobasco” in the stewpot and keep boiling them until we taste that the soup is cooked.
  3. We serve in big and deep plates and we pour as many drops of Tobasco we like (more drops, more spicy food) and pepper. The estimate is that this main menu is for four people-ideal for countries, when the climate is cold- ideal for a “light” menu- ideal for recommended price of 9-11 Euros, just for the main menu- ideal for old and mature people with teeth problems-but also for hangovers and spicy soup lovers.

Movie “The Good Brother”

Image
  1. The Father of the family just sleeps, goes to the coffee shop, gives some money for charity or goes shopping or he does not care and does party with other irresponsible and notorious creatures.
  2. The mother of the family, does not care, does not execute her maternal duties with a minimum sense of responsibility, like pretending the “big lady”, leaving the house dirty, cooking whatever we don’t like, giving orders to shop staff we mostly don’t like….
  3. The children, like “The Good Big Brother” does whatever is possible and sometimes can be named “achievements” and gets many tangible and intangible rewards for being a hardworking bachelor….. and a good man most of the times.
  4. The children, like the “small brother” has tried some times through malicious manners to harm “The Good Big Brother” with a hidden way, that dates back more than 20 years. He has been rewarded some times for his evil actions from other evil creatures but “The Good Big Brother” has managed many times to survive, he has lived a humble life till now and has done many good deeds till now

 

“The End”

“The Good Big Brothers” cannot tolerate the lack of respect, the lack of care, the lack of support, the lack of team work, the lack of proper manners and behaviour etc and take the “divine order” by God to start making some punishments and take many “seeds of love”, “seeds of delight”, “rewards for achievements” and many

“blessings of good fortune” for being respectful of religions.

Legalization, Quality Control of soft narcotics-Use in designated areas.

Image

A great issue that needs immediate consideration and action from all republics and kingdoms all over the world, is the legalization, Quality Control  of soft narcotics and their designated use.

Private research that I have reviewed, indicates that legalization of soft narcotics like marijuana and cannabis will reduce significantly violence and crimes. Their use can be done after strict quality control because the most health problems and deaths are caused by narcotics mixed with chemicals and other damaging substances.

A tested designated use of soft narcotics is licensed cafes and bars but with proper inverter air-conditions for the recycling of the smokes.

Hard narcotics are extremely difficult to be legalized because they are extremely addictive and cause significant health problems that lead to one direction that is slow and painful death. Another point is that their legalization would raise significant protests by many related organisations and societies.

This conclusion is derived not only by private research but also from the street experience, I have gained through my  social and professional life. Relevant actions to be examined by relevant authorities…..
