Father Nick’s Letter
Dear Parishioners,
We are now well into the Ecclesiastical New Year with
Sunday School, Greek School, Dance and all of Holy
Trinity’s Youth and Adult ministries running full
speed ahead! Please keep handy the calendar (in this
bulletin) so you won’t miss out on the very exciting
and worthwhile ministries our parish has to offer
everyone! This is YOUR CHURCH. Come and enjoy!
Stay involved! Be grateful for the time that we can
share with each other!
Have you ever wondered why some churches have so
many problems? The answer is very simple:
TOTALITY! The totality of its members must come
together to achieve the common good of HIS holy
house. A body can only function properly with all of
its members working together. If the brain does not
work with the other senses, how hard would it be to
smell, taste, hear, see and touch? Can one walk
without the legs getting the message to do so from the
brain? Can a severed body function in the same
manner as a body that is whole? The answer is a
resounding NO! Unless the TOTALITY of the body of
the Church members are willing to work together, the
Church (parish) will always be SEVERED! Yes, we can
pretend everything is ok; continuing to go through the
motions and let others fix the problem. But, is this the
correct way? Is this the way we are to function as
Christians? Is this the Church that we call “one, holy,
catholic and Apostolic”?
My dear brothers and sisters, this past year has truly
tested our hearts and souls as a Parish. We have
painfully endured gossip, lies, anger, frustration, inhouse fighting, lack of communication and have even
lost a few of our families. Whatever wrong has been
done, whatever hurt has been felt, whatever trust has
been lost, must come to an end. This can only happen
through peace and forgiveness. Everyone must stop
trying to point out what others are doing wrong and
replace it with open communication and solutions. I
say this with regards to all aspects of our Church life:
spiritually, economically and liturgically. If we allow
peace and forgiveness into our hearts and souls; in
such a way that you have never experienced before in
your lifetime, I promise you a healthier, loving
community that can accomplish greatness according
to the Will of our Father in Heaven.
May our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ continue to
bless our Beloved Parish and all of you!
With Pastoral Love, I remain,
Fr. Nicholas
Αγαπητοί Ενορίτες,
Το Νέο Εκκλησιαστικό Έτος είναι πρόσω ολοταχώς με το
Κατηχητικό και Ελληνικό Σχολείο, την χορευτική ομάδα χορού
και όλες τις υπηρεσίες της Νεολαίας και των Ενηλίκων της Αγίας
Τριάδος σε πλήρη δράση! Παρακαλώ κρατήστε πρόχειρο το
ημερολόγιο (σε αυτό το ενημερωτικό δελτίο ), για να μην χάσετε
τις πολύ ενδιαφέρουσες και υπηρεσίες που μας προσφέρει η
ενορία μας! Αυτή είναι Η ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑ ΣΑΣ. Ελάτε και
απολαύσετε ! Συμμετέχετε συνεχώς! Να είστε ευγνώμονες για το
χρόνο που μπορούμε να μοιρασθούμε μεταξύ μας!
Έχετε αναρωτηθεί ποτέ γιατί μερικές εκκλησίες έχουν τόσα
πολλά προβλήματα; Η απάντηση είναι πολύ απλή:
ΣΥΛΛΟΓΙΚΟΤΗΤΑ! Το σύνολο των μελών της πρέπει να
ενεργεί μαζί για να πετύχει το κοινό καλό του ιερού σπιτιού
ΤΟΥ. Ένα σώμα μπορεί να λειτουργήσει σωστά αν όλα τα
μέλη του συνεργάζονται. Εάν ο εγκέφαλος δεν ενεργοποιή τις
άλλες αισθήσεις , πόσο δύσκολο θα ήταν να μυρίση, γευθή,
ακούση, δει και αγγίξη; Μπορεί κανείς να περπατήση αν τα
πόδια δεν πάρουν την εντολή από τον εγκέφαλο να το
πράξουν; Μπορεί ένα ελλειπές σώμα να λειτουργήση με τον
ίδιο τρόπο όπως ένα αρτιμελές σώμα; Η απάντηση είναι ένα
ηχηρό ΟΧΙ ! Εκτός αν το ΣΥΝΟΛΟ του σώματος των μελών
της Εκκλησίας είναι πρόθυμο να συνεργασθή , η Εκκλησία
(κοινότητα) θα είναι πάντοτε ΑΠΟΚΟΜΜΕΝΗ! Ναι,
μπορούμε να προσποιηθούμε ότι όλα είναι εντάξει∙
συνεχίζοντας αμέτοχοι και αφήνονταςε τους άλλους να
διορθώσουν το πρόβλημα. Αλλά, είναι αυτός ο σωστός τρόπος;
Είναι αυτός ο τρόπος με τον οποίον πρέπει να λειτουργούμε ως
Χριστιανοί; Είναι αυτή η Εκκλησία που ονομάζουμε «Μία,
Αγία, Καθολική και Αποστολική»;
Αγαπητοί αδελφοί και αδελφές μου, το τελευταίος χρόνος έχει
δοκιμάσει πραγματικά τις καρδιές και τις ψυχές μας ως Ενορία.
Έχουμε υποφέρει οδυνηρά κουτσομπολιά, ψέματα, θυμό,
απογοήτευση, εσωτερικές διαμάχες, έλλειψη επικοινωνίας και
ακόμη έχουμε χάσει μερικές από τις οικογένειές μας . Ό, τι
λάθη έχουν γίνει, ό, τι κακό έχει γίνει αισθητή, όποιαδήποτε
εμπιστοσύνη έχει χαθεί , πρέπει να πάρουν τέλος . Αυτό μπορεί
να συμβεί μόνο μέσα από την ειρήνη και τη συγχώρεση. Ο
καθένας πρέπει να σταματήσει να προσπαθή να επισημάνη τι
λάθος κάνουν οι άλλοι και να το αντικαταστήση με ανοικτή
επικοινωνία και λύσεις. Το λέω αυτό σε σχέση με όλες τις
πτυχές της ζωής της Εκκλησίας μας: πνευματικώς,
οικονομικώς και λειτουργικώς. Αν επιτρέψουμε την ειρήνη και
την συγχώρεση στις καρδιές και τψυχές μας∙ με τέτοιο τρόπο
που δεν έχετε δοκιμάσει ποτέ πριν στη ζωή σας, σας
υπόσχομαι μια υγιέστερη, στοργική κοινότητα που μπορεί να
επιτύχει το μεγαλείο σύμφωνα με το Θέλημα του Πατέρα μας
στους Ουρανούς.
Είθε ο Κύριος, Θεός και Σωτήρας μας Ιησούς Χριστός να
συνεχίση να ευλογή την αγαπημένη Ενορία μας και όλους σας!
Με την Ποιμαντική αγάπη , παραμένω ,
Πατήρ Νικόλαος

My Fellow Parishioners,
On September 30th the church marked another successful
Golf Tournament, our 6th annual. Pictures and an updated
sponsor list will be printed in the November monthly
bulletin, as this letter goes out before the final list is
generated. I would like to thank those sponsors who
generously continue to support our church and for being
there for our community. As you know these
sponsorships help us to continue to be able to support and
off-set costs for all of our ministries.
October is a busy month, and all of Holy Trinity’s
ministries are beginning to meet and programs have
started. On October 8th the Philoptochos invites you to
join them for a seminar concerning a philanthropic
project that they will support in Greece. See the invitation
in this bulletin for further information.
On Saturday, October 12th our AHEPAns are sponsoring
their 2nd annual Comedy Night and we hope that you will
join us for a fun-filled evening that will surely leave you
laughing! Some of the proceeds from that night will
benefit our parish, so please come out and join us. See
their flyer in this bulletin for ticket information.
On October 20th we will be honoring four fellow
parishioners and four of our GOYAns at the annual
Metropolitan Evangelos Ambassador Awards Banquet.
Ticket information was sent out in the mail a few weeks
ago and is also here in this bulletin. This year our beloved
past priest, the late Very Reverend Archimandrite Jerry
Rassias will be honored posthumously. We hope that you
will join us as we honor Fr. Jerry and our own
parishioners for the work they have done and continue to
do for our church.
As many of you know, Fr. Dean was transferred to the Atlanta
Metropolis and his last day was Sunday, September 22nd. We
wish him and Presbytera Carolyn well and best wishes in their
new parish. Going forward Fr. Nick will continue to serve our
community and its many ministries, and he will need all of our
help to make this a smooth transition. If you have any concerns,
please know that we, the Parish Council, and he are available to
discuss any need you may have.
Our Fall General Assembly is set for Sunday, November
3rd. Please plan to attend, as this is your church, and the
General Assembly is a place where we should come
together and discuss the needs of our parish as a whole,
and also the needs of individual ministries. It is a place
for us, as Orthodox Christians, to come together and
make decisions that will benefit our community and help
us to continue to do the Lord’s work in the ministries we,
as individuals, are involved in. Working together will
strengthen our parish, enabling us to do great things for
years to come.
Sincerely,
Georgia Halakos
Αγαπητοί μου ενορίτες μου,
Στις 30 Σεπτεμβρίου η εκκλησία έγινε ακόμη ένα επιτυχημένο
Τουρνουά Γκολφ, το 6ο ετήσιο μας. Εικόνες και ενημερωμένος
κατάλογος των χορηγών θα αναρτηθούν στο μηνιαίο δελτίο του
Νοεμβρίου, καθώς η παρούσα στήλη αναρτάται πριν από την τελική
καταχώρηση τους . Θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω τους χορηγούς οι
οποίοι γενναιόδωρα συνεχίζουν να υποστηρίζουν στην εκκλησία μας
και συμπαρίστανται στην κοινότητά μας . Όπως γνωρίζετε αυτές οι
χορηγίες μας βοηθούν να συνεχίσουμε να αντιπαρερχώμεθα το
κόστος του συνόλου των υπηρεσιών μας.
Ο Οκτώβριος είναι ένας πολυάσχολος μήνας, όλες οι υπηρεσίες
της Αγίας Τριάδος έχουν αρχίσει να λειτουργούν και τα
προγράμματα έχουν ξεκινήσει. Στις 8 Οκτωβρίου η Φιλόπτωχος σας
προσκαλεί να συμμετάσχετε μαζί τους σε ένα σεμινάριο σχετικά με
το φιλανθρωπικό έργο που θα υποστηρίξουν για την Ελλάδα . Δείτε

μια διασκεδαστική βραδιά που σίγουρα θα σας περάσετε ευχάριστα!
Μερικά από τα έσοδα από εκείνο το βράδυ θα είναι προς όφελος της
ενορίας μας, γι 'αυτό παρακαλώ να πάρετε μέρος . Δείτε την
ανακοινωσή τους σε αυτό το ενημερωτικό δελτίο για σχετικές
πληροφορίες.
Στις 20 Οκτωβρίου, θα τιμήσουμε τέσσερεις ενορίτες και τέσσερα
μέλη της GOY μας στο ετήσιο συμπόσιο απονομής βραβείων των
Πρέσβεων του Μητροπολίτης Ευάγγελου. Πληροφορίες των
εισιτηρίων απεστάλησαν ταχυδρομικά πριν από μερικές εβδομάδες
και θα τις βρείτε επίσης στο παρόν δελτίο. Εφέτος ο αγαπημένος,
αείμνηστος ιερέας μας Πατέρας Γεράσιμος Ρασσιάς θα τιμηθεί μετά
θάνατον. Ελπίζουμε ότι θα συμμετάσχετε,για να τιμήσετε τον
Πατέρα Γεράσιμο και τους ενορίτες μας, για το έργο που έχουν κάνει
και συνεχίζουν να κάνουν για την εκκλησία μας.
Όπως πολλοί από εσάς γνωρίζετε, ο Πατέρας Κωνσταντίνος
μεταφέρθηκε στη Μητρόπολη της Ατλάντας και η τελευταία ημέρα
του ήταν η Κυριακή, 22α Σεπτεμβρίου. Ευχόμαστε σ’ αυτόν και
την Πρεσβυτέρα Κυριακή καθώς τα καλλίτερα στην νέα ενορία
τους. Ο Πατέρας Νικόλαος θα συνεχίση να υπηρετή την κοινότητα
μας και τις πολλές υπηρεσίες της, και θα χρειαστή όλη τη βοήθεια
μας για μια ομαλή μετάβαση. Αν έχετε οποιεσδήποτε σκέψεις,
πρέπει να γνωρίζετε ότι εμείς, το Κοινοτικό Συμβούλιο, και αυτός
είμαστε διαθέσιμοι για να συζητήσουμε κάθε ανάγκη που μπορεί να
έχετε.

Παρακαλούμε να προγραμματήσετε να την παρακολουθήσετε ,
καθώς αυτή είναι για την εκκλησία σας, και η Γενική Συνέλευση
είναι ένα μέρος που πρέπει να παρευρεθήτε και να συζητήσετε τις
ανάγκες της ενορίας μας, στο σύνολό της , καθώς επίσης και τις
ανάγκες των επιμέρους υπηρεσιών. Είναι ένα μέρος για μας, ως
Ορθόδοξοι Χριστιανοί, να συνευρεθούμε και να πάρουμε αποφάσεις
που θα είναι προς όφελος της κοινότητας μας και να μας βοηθήσετε
να συνεχίσουμε να κάνουμε το έργο του Κυρίου στις αρμόδιες
υπηρεσίες εμείς, ως άτομα , που συμμετέχουν. Η συνεργασία θα
ενισχύσει την ενορία μας , δίνοντάς μας τη δυνατότητα να κάνει

επόμενα
χρόνια.
Με εκτίμηση,
Γεωργία Halakos

Hunger All Around Wilmington
and Throughout Our Great Nation
On any given night, 5 million American children go to
bed hungry! Some live in Wilmington, some might be
your neighbor, some you might even know. In the
area served by the Food Bank of Delaware, “34,570
children are food insecure or at risk for hunger.”
More and more large companies and corporations are
getting involved in the “Fight against Hunger”. Here
in Delaware, as reported in the September 16th issue
of The News Journal, the Perdue Chicken Farm
Company delivered 100,000 meals in and around
Delmarva as part of their community commitment and
partnership with area food banks.
Perhaps you may not know that here in Wilmington
many people are filling the seats at Emmanuel Dining
Room to get their family a daily meal.
We can continue to help these people in need by
bringing a can or two to church whenever you come
in. There are two bins located by the church office
and in the Narthex.
Recently, Steve Nicholas delivered 49 bags of food
from mid-August to mid-September. Please continue
to fill these bins by bringing in non-perishable food
items whenever you come to church. Always needed
are:
Canned meats and vegetables, fish, soup,
juices, pasta, rice, sugar, flour, cereal, tea bags,
coffee, baby foods, peanut butter, pasta sauces.
ANY FOOD THAT WILL NOT SPOIL.
When you bring in your food
donations you become an
important part of this food chain.
Thank you,
The Food Committee,
John Lazare,
Tina Ganiaris King,
Steve Nicholas,
& Nikkie Tsakataras
September 12th at the
Emmanuel Dining Room
East
140 women, men and children
enjoyed a warm luncheon meal on
Thursday, September 12th through
the very generous sponsorship and
donation by Mary Manolakis and
Stephanie Frangia Baker. We
sincerely thank Mary and Stephanie
for this charitable giving and for their
20 year commitment to this worthy
cause! Evie and Manny Fournaris and
Tina Ganiaris worked in the kitchen
that day. A new sponsor will donate
and host the meal on Saturday,
October 12th. All are welcome to join
in to help serve from noon to 1pm on
the 12th of every month.
Various groups and individuals
generously donate the food and host
the luncheon meal on the 12th of
every month throughout the year.
New sponsors are needed to fill a
few months, so if you would like to
become a part of this worthy
service project with your family,
friends or church organization, please
contact Nikkie Tsakataras at 6552252 or Tina Ganiaris at 764-2183
for more information.

GOYA News
Hello All,
Our GOYA is off to a great start so far! Our Executive Board met a few weeks ago to
discuss several things such as tournaments we will be attending, meeting dates,
fundraisers, and different fun activities. Both of our basketball teams had our first
practice on Tuesday night, and we plan on attending the basketball tournament at St.
Sophia in Washington, DC on October 26th-27th. We also have a bonfire planned
for Friday, October 18th that all GOYAns are encouraged to attend (location TBA)!
On September 14th, Father Nick, Foula Karavasilis, and I attended a DVYC
Leadership retreat at St. Thomas in Cherry Hill, NJ. A few of our GOYAns (Anna
Fournaris, Dia Halakos, Pauline Raisis) and a few parents (Mrs. Evie Fournaris, Dr.
Leo Raisis and Dr. Irene Raisis) attended the AHEPA Odessey 5k. Our first meeting
was held on Thursday, October 19th in the AHEPA room at 7:00 pm. Our executive
board and advisors are well on our way of planning a fundraiser that will begin in
October.
I am looking forward to having an outstanding year in GOYA! If you have any

Student Bio’s for Ambassador Awards 2013
PEACE:
Stefania Karavasilis, 17, a senior at St. Mark's High School, where she is part
of several sports teams. Hobbies include hanging with friends, sports, and
shopping. Stefania has been involved in GOYA since 7th grade and is active
in church. She is the President of the GOYA and has also served as
Corresponding Secretary and Vice President. Stefania is a member of the
Terpsichorean Dance Troupe and the GOYA basketball team. The fact that
she is friendly to all and treats everyone equally; regardless of race, creed or
social status or what others think, makes her a perfect recipient of the
Ambassador of Peace.
LOVE:
Sophia Kotanidis, 15, a student at Unionville High School, is on high honors
and participates in the girl’s soccer and basketball team. She loves to travel
and play music.
She is involved in GOYA Basketball and the Terpsichorean Dance Troupe.
She has been Corresponding Secretary for two years. Sophia shows her faith
and kindness towards everyone. She loves to participate in service projects
with her GOYA in helping her local community. Some of her efforts have
been involvement with local food pantries, clothing drives, and coordinating
a Soccer Tournament benefitting a family who lost their husband/father. She
truly is an icon of an Ambassador of Love.
FAITH:
Constantina “Dia” Halakos, 15, attends Ursiline Academy. She is on the
swim team and the tennis team. Her hobbies include photography, hanging
with her friends and shopping!
Constantina is involved in various church activities such as GOYA Basketball
and the Terpsichorean Dance Troupe. She is faithful in attending the Divine
Liturgy, Sunday School and is an active member of GOYA. She is loving and
always with a smile, committed to her Orthodox faith. I know that she will
share and pass her Orthodox faith on to others as she matures. For this
reason she was chosen as an Ambassador of Faith.
HOPE:
Panagiotis Tzinoudis, 16, attends Garnet Valley High School. His favorite
subjects are math and science, and is on the school’s basketball team. He
attends Sunday School and serves as an altar boy. He is part of the
Terpsichorean Dance Troupe. He is the Recording Secretary for GOYA and
plays on the Basketball Team. Panos has been involved with the Delaware
Valley Mission Walk and various retreats. Panos is the type of person who
never says “no” when it comes to helping out. He knows right from wrong
and knows that he must set an example to others regarding Christian life
choices. His teachers feel he is a leader and will be successful with all his life
choices, leaving us hopeful for the future, and why he was chosen as an
Ambassador of Hope.

1975. Vickie joined Philoptochos in 1984 and served as president of the St.
Agape Chapter for two terms (1989–1991 and 2003–2005). She has

Holy Trinity, Wilmington, DE Parishioner Nominee:
Nikkie Tsakataras, born 1928, went to school in Chester and college in Philadelphia,
and is still a student in the Life Long Learning Program. She and her late husband
Renos have one son, George.
In 1982, she thought Holy Trinity should be involved in feeding the poor and has
enlisted volunteers for the Emmanuel Dining Room for the past 31 years and to date,
have fed over 55,800 people! She helped to establish and serves on the Altar Guild.
She and her late husband, Renos, re-established the Food Pantry and she continues to
write articles for the bulletin for fellow parishioners to help to feed the poor.
Her heart for the needy is equal to none, but her greatest love is serving Holy Trinity’s
children by teaching Sunday School. Quoting her “Of all my volunteer involvements,
my 28 years of teaching 6th grade Sunday School has brought me the most joy and
satisfaction. To know that I have planted a small seed in the minds of so many 12year olds and that I have tried to bring them closer to Jesus and to love their church –
I consider this my mission in life.”
Holy Trinity, Wilmington, DE Sunday School Teacher Nominee
Jackie Pastis, as a member of Holy Trinity Wilmington, DE for over 35 years,
continues to live and teach the Orthodox Christian way of life to children in
the Third Grade Sunday School class for the last 25 years. Her background in

Sunday School a loving, interesting place to “hook” children early”!

and her husband Bobby and their girls live in Wilmington, Delaware. She was
born in Athens, Greece and grew up in Lakewood, Ohio. This is where she
graduated Cleveland State University.
As an immigrant she believes that the Greek language should be passed down to
our children. Quoting her saying, “It is my honor to teach at Holy Trinity Greek
School. I love teaching our youngest students language, arts and culture. It is
vital to establishing the next generation of Greek Americans.”
GREEK SCHOOL NEWS
Dear Parents and Teachers of our Greek School,
I hope that you all had a great and fun filled summer with your loved ones. I want to
provide you with an update on our plans for the new school year.
Please review the information below and feel free to contact me via email at
yannistacey@aol.com or by phone (302-358-0045) with any additional questions or concerns.
Schedule:
1) Our registration began on Sunday, September 8th at our Church Picnic. If you did
not attend please feel free to email or call me, or call or stop by the church office for a
registration form.
2) Agiasmos-First day of class was Friday, September 13th (5:00pm).
Class will take place once a week on Fridays from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
Pre-K and Kindergarten will be 5:00pm-7:00pm
As always our school will provide classes from pre-K through 6th grade.
There will be no combined classes.
This past year we attempted for the first time to have an optional day that included history,
geography, mythology, religion, and Greek dance. This program was successful and
rewarding for the children that participated. I want ALL of our Greek school children to
benefit, so we will be including them in this years curriculum.
We all have experienced the challenges presented in managing our children’s daily
schedule during the school year. From getting back home late on a school night following
Greek school, to keeping up with the increasing demands of American school homework
not to mention the after school activities.
We will be actually gaining class time versus last year. In addition our children would not
have to rush home to complete homework for the next day.
Thus my decision to make the change to a one day per week, and picking Friday was
simple.
We will also plan to have social activities with the children and their parents every 4-6
weeks following Greek school (movies, games, etc) to foster a sense of fellowship.
In the end, our mission as a ministry is to provide an environment for our children where
they can happily learn our language, our culture and our history while developing life long
friendships with their fellow classmates.
I hope that you will all continue to support our Greek school and look forward to seeing
you all.
Best Regards,
John

Δρ. Κώστας Γ. Φούντζουλας
15 Αυγούστου τού 1940. Ενώ οί Έλληνες εόρτaζaν τήν ημέρα τής Κοιμήσεως τής Θεοτόκου ένα Ιταλικό
υποβρύχιο εβύθισε τό αντιτορπιλλικό Έλλη στό λιμάνι τής νήσου Τήνου χωρίς καμμιά προειδοποίηση. Αυτό
ήταν τό προεόρτιο τής επιθέσεως τής φασιστικής τότε Ιταλίας, συμμάχου τής ναζιστικής Γερμανίας, εναντίον
τής Ελλάδος. Η υπόλοιπη Δυτική Ευρώπη, πλήν τής Σουηδίας καί Φιλανδίας, ουσιαστικών συμμάχων τής
Γερμανίας, τής Μ. Βρεττανίας, τής Ισπανίας καί τής Ελβετίας, ευρίσκεται ήδη κάτω από τόν Γερμανικό
ζυγό. Η Τουρκία εκράτησε ουδέτερη στάση μέχρι 10 ημέρες πρίν τό τέλος τού Δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου
Πολέμου οπότε επήγε μέ τούς συμμάχους.
Στίς 3 τό πρωί τής 28ης Οκτώβριου τού 1940. ο πρεσβευτής τής Ιταλίας στήν Αθήνα έδωσε τελεσίγραφο τής
κυβερνήσεώς του στόν πρωθυπουργό τής Ελλάδος Ιωάννη Μεταξά νά αφήση τά Ιταλικά στρατεύματα νά
περάσουν από τήν Ελλάδα, μέ προορισμό τήν Μέση Ανατολή. Τά πετρέλαια τής Μέσης Ανατολής ήταν
απαραίτητα γιά τήν Γερμανία καί τήν Ιταλία πού δέν διέθεταν πηγές ενεργείας. Ο πρωθυπουργός τής Ελλάδος
απάντησε στό τελεσίγραφο μέ ένα “ΟΧΙ”. Ο δικτάτορας τής Ιταλίας Μουσολίνι είχε απειλήσει ότι θά καταλάβη
τήν Ελλάδα στέλνοντας 8 εκατομύρια ξιφολόγχες, όσος καί ο πληθυσμός τής Ελλάδος. Στίς 5 τό πρωί τής 28ης
Οκτώβριου, δύο μόλις ώρες μετά τό τελεσίγραφο, τά Ιταλικά στρατεύματα άρχισαν τήν επιθεσή τους κατά τής
Ελλάδος στά Ελληνοαλβανικά σύνορα. Τά πρώτα ανακοινωθέντα τού ραδιοφωνικού σταθμού Αθηνών από τό
μέτωπο έλεγαν απλά κάι λιτά ότι τά Ελληνικά στρατεύματα υπερασπίζονται τό πάτριο έδαφος. Ο Ελληνικός λαός
σύσσωμος, μέ ενθουσιασμό αντάξιο τών προγόνων του ανταποκρίθηκε στό κάλεσμα στά όπλα. Μέ κάθε μέσον
προωθήθηκαν οι στρατιώτες στά σύνορα. Οί Ελληνίδες γυναίκες, σάν άλλες Σπαρτιάτισες, κατευώδωναν τούς
συζύγους, υίους καί αδελφούς τους, μέ τήν ευχή νά επιστρέψουν νικητές.
Η Ιταλία διέθετε στρατιωτική υπεροπλία σέ όλους τούς τομείς. Η Ελλάδα σέ αντίθεση είχε μέν πολύ
λιγότερο στρατό καί πολεμικά υλικά αλλά ένα λαό αποφασισμένο νά πεθάνη γιά τήν ελευθερία καί
ανεξαρτησία του. Όταν ένας λαός έχει αποφασίσει νά πεθάνη γιά τήν ελευθερία του τότε κερδίζει. Οί
Έλληνες κατώρθωσαν μέσα σέ λίγες μόνο ημέρες νά περάσουν στήν αντεπίθεση. Ονόματα πόλεων όπως
Σαραντάπορο, Τεπελένι, Αργυρόκαστρο καί Άγιοι Σαράντα είναι συνυφασμένα μέ τό έπος τών Ελλήνων στόν
Ελληνοιταλικό πόλεμο τού 1940. Τά βουνά τής Ηπείρου καί τής Βορείου Ηπείρου έγιναν ο τάφος τών
Ιταλών. Ο ηρωϊσμός τών Ελλήνων ξεπέρασε κάθε όριο. Μέσα σέ έξη μήνες, παρ’ όλες τίς προσπάθειες τών
Ιταλών καί τού ίδιου τού Μουσολίνι προσωπικά, οί Έλληνες είχαν απωθήσει τού Ιταλούς μέσα στήν
Αλβανία. Παρ’ ολίγο νά τούς πετάξουν στήν Αδριατική θάλασσα.
Η νίκη τών Ελλήνων ήταν η πρώτη συμμαχική νίκη τού Δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου. Ο Winston Churchill, ο μετέπειτα ωνομασθής Πατέρας τής Νίκης, είχε ειπεί θαυμάζοντας τούς Ελλήνες γιά τίς νίκες τους ότι “από
τώρα καί εμπρός δέν θά λέμε ότι οί Έλληνες πολεμούν σάν ήρωες αλλά ότι οί ήρωες πολεμούν σάν Έλληνες”.
Στόν ηρωϊκό αυτόν αγώνα η συνεισφορά τών γυναικών ήταν μεγαλειώδης. Έστελναν δέματα μέ τρόφιμα
καί ρούχα πού έπλεκαν οί ίδιες στούς Έλληνες στρατιώτες. Καί όχι μόνο αυτό. Οί ηρωϊκές Ηπειρώτισες,
άξιες απόγονοι τών Σουλιωτισών, κουβαλούσανε στήν πλάτη τους, πάνω στά χιονισμένα βουνά τής Ηπείρου,
μέσα στήν λασπη καί στό κρύο, πολεμοφόδια καί τρόφιμα στούς στρατιώτες πού πολεμούσαν στό μέτωπο.
Η νίκη τών Ελλήνων κατά τών Ιταλών το 1940 καθυστέρησε τήν επίθεση τού Χίτλερ κατά τής Ρωσίας κατά
έξη μήνες. Αποτέλεσμα αυτής τής καθυστερήσεως ήταν ότι οι Γερμανοί αντιμετώπησαν τούς Ρώσους μέσα
στόν βαρύ Ρωσικό χειμώνα μέ καταστροφικά αποτελέσματα γιά αυτούς. Το κόστος όμως τού
Ελληνοιταλικού πολέμου, τής Γερμανικής κατοχής καί τού εμφυλίου πολέμου πού ακολούθησαν ήταν
δυσανάλογα βαρύ γιά τήν Ελλάδα. Μέσα σέ δέκα χρόνια υπήρξαν, σέ σύνολικό πληθυσμό οκτώ
εκατομμυρίων, ένα εκατομμύριο νεκροί Έλληνες, πολύ ανάπηροι καί μιά χώρα τελείως κατεστραμμένη. Τό
τίμημά πού επλήρωσε η Ελλάδα γιά τήν ελευθερία της ήταν πολύ βαρύ. ‘Ας είναι αιωνία η μνήμη τών
νεκρών αδελφών μας.

28th October, 1940
Dr. Costas G. Fountzoulas
15th August, 1940. While the Hellenes were observing the Dormition of Virgin Mary, an Italian
submarine, without any warning sank the Greek torpedo destroyer Elli, which was docked in the harbor of
the island of Tenos. This was the prelude of the attack against Greece of the fascistic Italy, ally of the nazi
Germany. The rest of the Western Europe, except for Sweden and Finland, who were allies of Germans,
and Great Britain, Spain and Switzerland, was under the German yoke. Turkey was and remained neutral
until 10 days before the end of the Second World War at which time it joined the allied forces.
At 3 o’clock in the morning of 28th October, 1940, the ambassador of Italy in Athens gave an ultimatum
to the prime minister of Greece, Ioannis Metaxas, demanding permission for the Italian army to go through
Greece on its way to Middle East. The Middle East oil was necessary for both Italy and Germany because
they did not have sufficient energy resources. Greece’s prime minister answer was “NO” (“OXI”). Italy’s
dictator Mussolini threatened to send 8 million bayonets, one for each Hellene, to occupy Hellas. Only two
hours after the ultimatum to the prime minister, the Italian troops attacked Hellas: from its borders with
Albania at 5 o’clock in the morning of 28th October, 1940. The state radio of Athens announced in a
laconic way that the Hellenic troops are defending the motherland. The Greek people, worthy of their
glorious ancestors, responded enthusiastically to the mobilization to defend their country. They went to the
front with all possible means. The Greek women, like the ancient Spartans mothers, were saying good-bye
to their beloved husbands, sons and brothers and urging them to return home victorious.
Italy was militarily superior to Greece. It had a much bigger army, superior air force and advanced
weapons. In contrast, Greece’s main weapon was the decisiveness of its people to die for their freedom and
independence. The prerequisite for winning a war is people not to hesitate to die for their freedom. The
Hellenes, in a few days after the sudden attack, counterattacked successfully. Names of towns like
Sarantaporo, Tepeleni, Argyrokastro and Hagioi Saranta always remind us of the heroism and triumph of the
Hellenes in the Greco-Italian war of 1940. The mountains of Epiros and of Northern Epiros became the
grave for the attacking Italians. Within six months, despite the efforts of the Italians and Mussolini’s
personal efforts, the Hellenes had pushed the Italians well within Albania. They almost threw them in the
Adriatic sea.
The victory of Hellenes was the first victory of the allies of the Second World War. Winston Churchill,
who afterwards was called the Father of The Victory, said in admiring the Hellenes for their victories, that
“from now on we will not say that the Hellenes fight like heroes but the heroes fight like the Hellenes”.
The contribution of the Greek women in the war was tremendous. They were sending packages with food
and clothes which they had themselves knitted for the fighting soldiers. In addition, the heroic women of
Epiros, worthy descendants of the women of Souli, walking in the mud of the snowed mountains of Epiros,
were carrying ammunition and food for the soldiers on their shoulders.
The victory of the Hellenes against the Italians delayed the Hitler’s attack to Russia for six months. This
delay forced the Germans to fight the Russians during the heavy Russian winter of 1942 with disastrous for
them results. However, the cost of the Greco-Italian war, the German occupation that followed and the civil
war were disproportionally heavy for Greece. From 1940-1950, out of 8 million Greeks there were one
million dead, many wounded handicapped people, a completely destroyed country, and created seven
hundred thousand refuges. The price Hellas paid for its independence was very heavy. Let their example
inspire us to always raise our voice and our sword in defense of liberty and justice. Let the memory of the
fallen brothers of ours stay with us eternally.
