Oh wow, only the Greeks fast from alcohol on fast days? Hmmmm, maybe I should find the OCA church....

Actually you'll find rather few greek people / spiritual fathers are very strict with the oil & wine (generally alcohol) part of the fast. So don't freak out :).

What you never mentioned was how quick the Greeks are to pull you into things!

Oh so true!! Just remember you are allowed to say no to avoid temporary (or permanent) insanity. Although my friend who attends a Russian parish says the same thing, perhaps is a pan-Orthodox Epidemic!!:eek:

I'm not Greek either, despite the name and everyone saying I look part Greek at least.

Just learning. It's kind of 'learn greek or die' if you're a convert in Australia...

I wish I could just learn greek! I'm half Greek (ethnically at least) and have always attended a predominantly greek speaking parish but it's all fallen on my apparently deaf ears!! :blush:

I wish you Greeks wouldn't forget that some of us have no Greek.

I struggle with Ukrainian - Greek is a closed book :(

I'm right with you Anhelyna. I had to laugh when my Greek priest asked me, "So Maureen, is Greek close to Ukrainian?"

"No Father, not close at all." :D

I am definitly not Greek. I'm a red head, doesn't get more Irish than that!

I'm a non-Greek Irish red head too! That is I'm Irish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, German, English, Welsh, Scottish, and French...

I like to think I inspired the European Union... :D

Thanks Michael. I'm feeling pretty good....it's just this stupid cough. I start coughing every time I laugh, and I laugh A LOT. ^_^

I used to be that way in HS when I had very bad asthma. Watching Saturday Night Live (the Dana Carvey, Mike Meyers, Kevin Nealon and Dennis Miller years) would make me laugh so hard I would need to pull out the proventil inhaler and take a few puffs.
