Song of the week: “Gramma” by 💛

In light of the 2024 UEFA European Championship commencing this week, we reflect upon Greece’s 🇬🇷 European success back in 2004.

In the European championship of 2004 🏟️, Greece achieved what has gone down in history as one of the most remarkable underdog triumphs 🏆 in football history.

On the road to the final, they stunned reigning champions France 🇫🇷 in a 1-0 victory, where they then faced Portugal 🇵🇹, the host nation in the final held in Lisbon, who they beat 1-0 to secure their first ever European Title.

On Friday the 17th of May, MUGA was invited by the Cretan Association of Sydney & NSW as well as the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney to attend a talk.

The talk was based on the Battle of Crete and was held at the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park. Craig Collie who is a writer of military history was the guest speaker. Mr Collie made reference to his book “Where the flaming hell are we?” which is about the fight for Greece and Crete in World War II. Furthermore, the guest of honour for the evening was Vice Admiral Christos Sasiakos HN, Deputy Chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff.

We’re not over the Easter content 🤭

Easter Recap 🐣

EASTER SUNDAY - Χριστός Ανέστη 🙏
—————————————————————

Today marks the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection and His victory over sin and death.

MUGA would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter (Καλό Πάσχα) and we hope you have a wonderful day with friends and family. 🥰

HOLY SATURDAY
—————————————————————

On Holy Saturday or the ‘Anastasi’ leading up to midnight, worshippers sing hymns and await for Jesus’ resurrection. As midnight approaches, the church becomes silent and then lights up with lit candles as people sing “Christos Anesti”(Christ is Risen).

GOOD FRIDAY
—————————————————————

On Good Friday, we remember and commemorate Jesus’s crucifixion, which marked the beginning of salvation in which Jesus took on the sins of the world. The Church service today, symbolises Jesus laying in the tomb, which is known as the Epitafio, after being taken down from the cross.

HOLY THURSDAY
—————————————————————

Holy Thursday is symbolic in the church as it marks the Last Supper with the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist as well as Jesus washing the disciples’ feet.

HOLY WEDNESDAY
—————————————————————
On this day, the morning service features the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts and allows for Holy Communion. In the evening, the service consists of offering parishioners the holy oil, which commemorates the anointing of Christ’s feet with myrrh.
