Soup season is on our minds, and we’re diving headfirst into fall. We can’t help but get excited for some warmer foods to try, like Avgolemono soup. Avgolemeno translates to “egg-lemon,” which are the two main ingredients in this classic dish. You can try it out today at one of the many restaurants in #GreektownChicago! // #GreekEatofTheWeek

Today marks 19 years since 9/11. We will never forget this tragedy and will forever honor those whose lives were lost. #Neverforget

This past January, collectively with His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, New York Governor Cuomo and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the construction of The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine resumed as part of the World Trade Center redevelopment. St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was the only house of worship to be destroyed on 9/11. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese was determined to have the church rebuilt at ground zero. The goal is for the church and national shrine to be complete and open on the 20th anniversary, in September of 2021.

“This house of worship will serve as a reminder that our collective faith is something we can always count on to move past our painful memories and build a better tomorrow,” Gov. Cuomo said in a statement in January at the announcement ceremony.

You can’t take a trip to Greece, but you can take a trip to #Greektownchicago, which is basically the next best thing. 😊 If you’ve visited Greece, you may have noticed that all the doors in Santorini and on the other Greek Islands are blue. Fun fact: they were painted that way to ward off evil spirits. Today, they provide a scenic backdrop to complement the Mediterranean blue waters. // �P: @hollyclarkphotography
