Καλή Πρωτομαγιά!Καλή Πρωτομαγιά!
Ο εορτασμός της Πρωτομαγιάς συνδέεται με την ανθρώπινη χαρά για την άνοιξη και τη βλάστηση. Απότοκο των δοξασιών αυτών είναι το μαγιάτικο στεφάνι που φτιάχνεται από διάφορα άνθη και καρπούς και κρεμιέται στην πόρτα των σπιτιών.

Fall of Constantinople 1453 ADFall of Constantinople 1453 AD
GREEKS consider Tuesday an unlucky day. May 29th 1453, was a Tuesday; the day that Constantinople, the place they call the queen of cities, or simply “the city” was overrun by the Ottoman forces that had bombarded its mighty walls for 54 days. Smashing through the great bronze doors, they burst into the morning service at Hagia Sophia. The worshippers were massacred or captured; many priests died by the altar. Later Sultan Mehmet, the impulsive 21-year-old who had flouted all his elders’ advice in besieging the best-defended city in Europe, walked into the building and ordered an imam to claim it for the Muslim faith.
