It can be as simple as a pie, a flower, or a trinket, even Andithoro (Αντιδωρο/blessed bread passed out after Divine Liturgy). Or, do an errand for an elderly person. The important thing is to offer yourself with joy. Week 4: Make a list of 10 people to pray for each day. Include people you don’t get along with very well. Forgive them if they have wronged you and ask forgiveness if you’ve wronged them. Read: 1 John Chapter 4:7-21 Week 5: Pray for God to help you this week.

  • Sheep Based Cuisine Synthesis Report First Draft
    CULTURE AND NATURE: THE EUROPEAN HERITAGE OF SHEEP FARMING AND PASTORAL LIFE RESEARCH THEME: SHEEP BASED CUISINE SYNTHESIS REPORT FIRST DRAFT By Zsolt Sári HUNGARIAN OPEN AIR MUSEUM January 2012 INTRODUCTION The history of sheep consume and sheep based cuisine in Europe. While hunger is a biologic drive, food and eating serve not only the purpose to meet physiological needs but they are more: a characteristic pillar of our culture. Food and nutrition have been broadly determined by environment and economy. At the same time they are bound to the culture and the psychological characteristics of particular ethnic groups. The idea of cuisine of every human society is largely ethnically charged and quite often this is one more sign of diversity between communities, ethnic groups and people. In ancient times sheep and shepherds were inextricably tied to the mythology and legends of the time. According to ancient Greek mythology Amaltheia was the she-goat nurse of the god Zeus who nourished him with her milk in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete. When the god reached maturity he created his thunder-shield (aigis) from her hide and the ‘horn of plenty’ (keras amaltheias or cornucopia) from her horn. Sheep breeding played an important role in ancient Greek economy as Homer and Hesiod testify in their writings. Indeed, during the Homeric age, meat was a staple food: lambs, goats, calves, giblets were charcoal grilled. In several Rhapsodies of Homer’s Odyssey, referring to events that took place circa 1180 BC, there is mention of roasting lamb on the spit. Homer called Ancient Thrace „the mother of sheep”.

TO PETER SOMMER TR AVELS Writing this in autumn 2020, it is hard to know quite where to begin. I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company.

  • National Dish
    National dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.[1] A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons: • It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.[1] • It contains a particular 'exotic' ingredient that is produced locally, such as the South American paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.[1] • It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.[1] • It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s. Pilaf (O'sh), a national dish in the cuisines of Central Asia National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image.[2] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[3] According to Zilkia Janer, a lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, China or India because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures.[2] The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single national dish.

Greece has one of the oldest and most good-tasting traditions in the world, a tradition of ice- creams, materials and styles of prehistoric years and up to today. The ancient Greek cuisine is in recent years a subject of study. Written texts of the era of seniority describe with impressive details the eating habits of our ancestors in the island and mainland Greece. It was Archestratos in 330 B.C. who wrote the first cookbook in history. 2 Greece has a culinary tradition of some 4,000 years. Ancient Greek cuisine was characterized by its frugality and was founded on the "Mediterranean triad": wheat, olive oil, and wine, with meat being rarely eaten and fish being more common. 3 The species and shapes of containers, utensils and kitchen tools that come to light from the excavations reveal a very advanced, refined and healthy kitchen.

Health Concerns • Increased rates of cigarette smoking leading to lung cancer in older people; young Greek Americans are not smoking as much. • Increased rate of osteoporosis in women. • Hypertension due to a high salt diet. • Thalassemia: iron deficiency disorder, common in Greeks from Peloponnesus. • Greeks believe that sickness is due to stress or the ‘evil eye.’ o You stay healthy if you surround yourself with good family and friends who like to have a good time. o Mati (evil eye) is very real and should not be ridiculed; if someone is sick people will discuss you may have given the evil eye to the patient. o They like doctors but “Doctors know books. We know life.” Food Management Practices • Women traditionally prepare the meal, but the whole family is often involved. • Women have tight relationships shown with food. Food is an expected part of any social interaction. • The children usually do not participate in food management on a daily basis, but contribute in preparing and serving food on holidays.
