Nostalgia

One that “unites” the Zakynthians and the Ionian Islands by extension, anywhere in the world they are,  is the modest, family, full of ceremony process of cutting the traditional ‘kouloura’.  In this context, the Ionian Cultural Federation and the Zakynthian Association “Dionysios Solomos” surrounded by the Consulate Lana Zohios, her husband and many friends wishing good years to everyone.

The koulouri  arrived from Zakynthos with the care of the Secretary of the Association Anastasios Giakoumelos and was blessed by Father Gerasimos Balas, while the famous troubadour of New York, Seraphim Lazos, entertained those present.

Ballas, the consul Lana Zohios, her husband, Vice President of Zakynthians and American Literary Speaker Tasos Mouzakis, the Secretary of the Ionian Cultural and Cash Zakynthians Maria Andreoula-Palaios and award-winning teacher, Mr Timoleon Kokkinos.

Our expatriate countrymen are double Zakynthos and Ionians. Through their activities, you realize that although they are thousands of kilometres away from home, they keep the flame of the ideals, language, morals, religion, customs and culture alive.
