Greece-Grčka

Greece (Greek: Ελλάδα, Elláda, pronounced [eˈlaða]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Ελληνική Δημοκρατία [eliniˈci ðimokraˈti.a] Ellīnikī́ Dīmokratía) and known since ancient times as Hellas (Greek: Ἑλλάς), is a country in Southern Europe.
One of the greatest civilizations came from Greece. From the Mycenaeans, to the Republic, to Alexander the Great, to the Greek influenced Byzantine Empire which Greece was a part of. Also highly notable, birthplace of Democracy, Western Philosophy, Olympics,  Western literature, Mathematics and more.

What fascinated me about this country is that, it's Byzantine and modern history enchanted my imaginations most. Especially when the country was under Turkish rule and how it waged a holy war against the Turks that made them free in 1830.

As i begin, it was also the Byzantine history of this country that made my first step in the Orthodox church. I read about history books about Byzantine History or Greek concise history. It opened my eyes to the unknown Christian sect i am searching for since i was in grade school. Although i need to earn everything through hardwork to get there. If i have money one day, i wish to have a pilgrimage there, especially in Mt. Athos were i will feel the spirituality of the monks, notable for me is the Serbian monastery of Hilandar where i wish to see the three hand icon of the Bogorodice.

Modern Greek history made me feel that, Christians too can wage a holy war against their Turkish oppressors, supported by Russia, because the Russians felt the Greeks were imploring God's miracles in times of troubles and the success of the protection of their national identity.

That part in history made me feel much more God fearing and patriotic although i may or may not apply it on my home country for my personal reasons. Yet, it would also define my future that, what they did is to show the world how they love both God and their country so much.

If not about religious matters, i wish to conquer their beautiful beaches. And some disco moment with people i knew there. P.S. Every game of Olympiacos Pireaus BC. I am a red fan actually.  :)

If some doesn't know Greece yet, i may tell you. Come and feel the beauty of the Mediterranean and the churches there. How i wish to know their language as well, which i am also fascinated. For the Greek People, may they stay united by God and their morals for their future.
