“Did you know”…

*“Greece” wasn’t really called like that: its real official name was “Hellenic Republic”. The Romans began to call it Greacia (land of the Greeks) and the name was so popular that today it’s still called that.

*In a Greek wedding. One of the traditions that is almost always present is to throw sticks to the floor! It is believed that the noise scares evil spirits and a long and happy marriage is assured.

*“did you know”...In Greece they welcome New Year 's Eve with vasilopita (cake from San Basilio) that hides something inside of it… a coin. Whoever finds it will have a good year!
