Hello ladies. We came across your video today and we loved it. Very entertaining indeed. We are Greek/Finnish couple (but also lived in Sweden) Met 38 years ago in Greece and living in Australia now. Going to Greece again in April One of the best things we love about out time together is about learning and connecting about each other’s culture. Question I have is…what is your favourite holiday or festival in Sweden, Norway or Greece? I love the Lucia tradition. Have a nice day and don’t forget to give us a shout out here in Melbourne 👍

[@athenswives]

Hello!😃 Thank you so much❤️ We appreciate it! Very nice question😊 It's a perfect topic to talk about in a video🥰 And we agree that Lucia is a very nice tradition✨ Thank you so much for watching❤️

Hello Athens wives❤ the throwing of the cross in the waters symbolises the baptism of Christ ✨ the waters are blessed and whoever retrieves the cross is given a blessing from the Priest and good luck for the year ✝️

Γεια σας κορίτσια.... Στην Ελλάδα όταν ήμουν μικρός στην δεκαετία του 1970 δεν τρώγαμε το ψάρι που πήρατε ( αθερίνα) Θυμάμαι που πηγενα με την βάρκα του θείου μου ρίχναμε δίκτυα σε ένα μικρό νησάκι που υπήρχε κοντά στο χωριό πιάναμε αθερίνα και την χρησιμοποιούσαμε για δόλωμα σε παραγάδια ( τρόπος ψαρέματος ) .... Τα μικρότερα ψάρια που τρώγαμε τότε ήταν μαρίδα και γαύρος.... Αθερίνα έφαγα για πρώτη φορά την δεκαετία του 1990

[@athenswives]

Hi!😃 Thank you for sharing🥰 We loved the small fish👌 πολύ νόστιμο😁

[@remali26]

My mom used to give me every day, a teaspoon of (mourouneleo) when I was child. It is made from fish I think.

[@wardafournello]

What did you remind me of ... the awful taste of cod oil (mourounelaio). Today there is the delicious Norwegian product Möller cod oil.

Theophany is a major annual Christian feast of the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. It is celebrated on January 6 and is the third and final feast of the Twelve Days (Christmas holidays). The name derives from the manifestation of the three persons of the Holy Trinity that occurred according to three relevant gospel passages. The feast of Theophany is also called Epiphany. The Priest throws the cross into the water and the young people try to catch it first, to receive the Priest's blessing. The celebration was established in the 2nd century and because the Orthodox church has not changed since then, we keep this tradition.

Thank you so much for sharing and explaining this😊❤️ Have a lovely weekend🥰

Liver paste and oil (Torskleverolja?) are very rich in Vitamin A and D, in Greece you get more D from the Sun and A from normal Liver-dishes, or smaller amounts from Spanakopita, Chorta and other greens and vegetables. However, a big part of Greece is forest and mountains and people worked a lot in the dark forests, thats why in such areas Liver and Kokoretsi is very popular. In modern times we are most of the time inside and fast food is popular, lack of Vitamin D and A is more and more an issue also in Southern Europe, so keep importing this Liverpastei, Stabburet for Stubborn (Greeks).👌🏻

[@ALEKA-CITY]

@Athens wives there is SALAMYKONOSSSSSSSSSSS😂

[@athenswives]

Yes!😍

[@FLORATOSOTHON]

Ouzo has anise, that gives it the taste it has and when water is added, it turns white. As far as I am concerned I don't particularly like the taste of it with water so I prefer to drink it straight if I am with company that drinks it. I prefer to drink beer my self. One thing you must know is that if you drink Ouzo with the appetizer and then drink beer with the main course it's OK. However if you drink beer first, drinking Ouzo afterwards is a very bad combination that will get some one very drunk and it should never be tried.

[@athenswives]

Thank you so much for sharing😃❤️

Εδώ στην Ελλάδα παλιά , δεκαετιές 40 50 60 .... στα σχολεία έδιναν τα παιδιά να πιούν μουρουνέλαιο το οποίο κάνει καλό και το οποίο δεν υπαρχει εδώ και εισάγονταν τότε και τώρα απο την Σκανδιναβία . Η μάνα μου που κατάγεται απο ορεινό χωρίο της Ηπείρου δεκαετία του 50 τους έδιναν στο δημοτικό σχολείο . Τώρα μάλιστα υπάρχει στα φαρμακεία το μουρουνέλαιο Μόλερς , σε υγρό σιρόπι , σε χάπι και σε μορφή αμπούλας.

For the water celebration (Theophany, equivalent to Catholic Epiphany), see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophany. The priest throws the cross into a water body (sea, river, lake, fountain) to bless the water, and young boys try to get it. The winner goes around the neighbourhood with the priest and enters every house. The priest blesses the house, and the winner gets tips or presents.

[@athenswives]

Thank you so much for sharing this😊 Very interesting!💙

Is it the liver from reindeer in Sweden

[@athenswives]

No, it's from pig😁

Epiphany (/əˈpɪfəni/ ə-PIF-ə-nee), also known as "Theophany" in Eastern Christian tradition, is a Christian feast day commemorating the visit of the Magi, the baptism of Jesus, and the wedding at Cana. Blessing of Waters: The Orthodox Churches perform the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany.[78] The blessing is normally done twice: once on the Eve of the Feast - usually at a Baptismal font inside the church - and then again on the day of the feast, outdoors at a body of water. Following the Divine Liturgy, the clergy and people go in a Crucession (procession with the cross) to the nearest body of water, be it a beach, harbor, quay, river, lake, swimming pool, water depot, etc. (ideally, it should be a body of "living water"). At the end of the ceremony the priest will bless the waters. In the Greek practice, he does this by casting a cross into the water. If swimming is feasible on the spot, any number of volunteers may try to recover the cross. The person who gets the cross first swims back and returns it to the priest, who then delivers a special blessing to the swimmer and their household. Certain such ceremonies have achieved particular prominence, such as the one held annually at Tarpon Springs, Florida. In Russia, where the winters are severe, a hole will be cut into the ice so that the waters may be blessed. In such conditions, the cross is not cast into the water, but is held securely by the priest and dipped three times into the water. Etymology The word Epiphany is from Koine Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epipháneia, meaning manifestation or appearance. It is derived from the verb φαίνειν, phainein, meaning ‘to appear’.[26] In classical Greek it was used for the appearance of dawn, of an enemy in war, but especially of a manifestation of a deity to a worshipper (a theophany). In the Septuagint the word is used of a manifestation of the God of Israel (2 Maccabees 15:27).[27] In the New Testament the word is used in 2 Timothy 1:10 to refer either to the birth of Christ or to his appearance after his resurrection, and five times to refer to his Second Coming.[27] Alternative names for the feast in Greek include τα Θεοφάνια, ta Theophánia, ‘Theophany’ (a neuter plural rather than feminine singular), η Ημέρα των Φώτων, i Iméra ton Fóton (modern Greek pronunciation), ‘The Day of the Lights’, and τα Φώτα, ta Fóta, ‘The Lights’.[28] In Egypt, it is called Eid al-Ghitas (Arabic: عيد الغِطاس).[29] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)
