Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, Orange CT

Every September my life includes the Greek Festival, "Odyssey" held at this church. The tradition started some years back when my wife and I joined two friends (she - Greek, he - Italian) who were going long before us.
My wife was of Spanish ancestry so the olive skinned Mediterraneans fit together well!
I alas, am pale skinned English German but the festival lets me in anyway.
We always enjoy the music, camaraderie, and mostly the food.

They are a blast and rich in cultural heritage. I attended annually when still in Knoxville. Have not in quite a few years.
