This will be a short call to action of a post, as it is Memorial Day Weekend. Please consider going out to the various parish festivals that kick of the summer this holiday weekend.

Here is a piece about the New Orleans Greek festival, highlighting the unique mix of Cajun and Greek cultures that has shaped the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox community.
