GEOGRAPHY

Located on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula.

On the north is Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia and Albania.

To the west is the Ionian Sea.

The south is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea.

On the East is the Aegean Sea and Turkey.

Consists of a large mainland and around 3,000 islands.

80% of the land is mountainous

Mount Olympus is the highest pointSlide6

WEATHER

Typical of the Mediterranean climate

Mild and rainy winters

Relatively warm and dry summers

Extended periods of sunshine throughout most of the year

Two main seasons:

Cold and rainy period lasts from mid-October until the end of March

Warm and dry season lasting from April until SeptemberSlide7

RELIGION

The Greek population in mainland Greece and the Greek islands is 98% Christian Orthodox.Slide8

WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX RELIGION?

They share a few of the same views as other denominations of Christianity. Some of these include the beliefs on certain core doctrines such as the sinfulness of man, the triune nature of God, and the physical resurrection of Christ.

They attach great importance to the Bible, the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and “right” belief.

There is less focus on the exact definition of religious truth and more on the practical and personal experience of truth in the life of the individual and the church.Slide9

TRADITIONS

NAME DAY CELEBRATION

- Since most people are named after a religious saint, a very important tradition is that everyone who has a name coming from a saint celebrated by the church celebrates his name on a given day of the year. On “name day” people prepare pastries, sweets, and appetizers. They do this as people show up without invitation and offer well wishes and small presents. “Name day” is more important than a person’s birthday.

APOKRIES (HALLOWEEN)

- This is a two week long festival. It starts on the Sunday of Meat Fare, and ends with the first day of the Lent. People feast for a whole two weeks. It comes from the old festivities worshiping Dionysus, the god of wine and feast. It is saying goodbye to meat.

CLEAN MONDAY (LENT MONDAY

)- This is the first day of lent, when families go for a picnic in the countryside and fly kites.

EASTER

- On Easter Sunday the families roast a lamb on a spit. Slide11

HISTORY OF FOOD IN THIS AREA

Ancient Greeks did not have sugar, so honey was used as a natural sweetener.

Beef and pork were only available to the poor during religious festivals. This is because, during the festivals, cows and pigs were sacrificed to the gods. After they were sacrificed, the meat was cooked and handed out to the public.

Wine was the main drink in ancient Greece. Instead of drinking it straight, it was watered down, because it was considered barbaric to drink it straight.

Ancient Greeks did not have eating utensils, so they typically ate with their hands. Bread was used to scoop soup. Bread was also used a a napkin to clean off their hands. After wiping their hands on it, it was thrown on the floor for the dogs.Slide12

TABOO FOODS

The Greek culture doesn’t really have any foods that are completely taboo or not allowed in daily life.

DID YOU KNOW?

Greece is the size of Alabama, yet has double the population.

Voting is a requirement for all citizens.

In 1950, only about 30% of Greeks could read or write, now nearly 95% can.

An old Greek legend says that when God created the world, he sifted all the soil onto the earth through a strainer. After every country had good soil, he tossed the stones left in the strainer over his shoulder and created Greece.

Greek men must serve one year – 18 months in a branch of the armed forces.Slide26
