MISS GOYANZ 2001
T
he Annual Miss GOYANZ dance was held on the Sunday of
Queens Birthday Weekend at the “Parthenon” Greek Com
munity Centre in Hania Street.
Over 350 people were once again entertained by George Paradisos and
his bouzouki band all the way from Sydney, Australia.
Despite a late start by the band due to a few technical glitches, everyone
(and I do mean EVERYONE), was soon on the dance floor dancing
to some old favourites as well as some more recent hits from Greece.
The turnout by the neolaia was great, the upstairs of the Parthenon
was ‘Choca-block’ full of Neolaia, and their were heaps more downstairs
as well.
Special guest for the evening was Miles Davis (the host of House of
Football on SKY TV) with a recently dislocated shoulder. Full of
compliments about the beauty of the contestants, and how lucky we
Greek guys were, and after some very challenging and thought provoking
questions, Miles finally anounced the three finalists, they were: Nicky
Boolieris, Angela Stellin, and the eventual winner Peggy Yiannoutsos.
First prize was a return trip to Australia presented to Peggy by Jim
Christie of Harvey World Travel. Congratulations to all the winners.
With formalities (and raffles) out of the way, the ‘kefi’ continued until
the early hours of Monday morning. A big “congratulations” goes out
to the GOYANZ Committee for organising such an enjoyable
evening. See you all there next Queens Birthday weekend for Miss
GOYANZ 2002.

H
ello to all readers, in the absence of both Stelios and
Petros I am filling in for this issue’s editorial. I would
first like to express my thanks to everyone who attended
the Miss GOYANZ dance on Queens Birthday Weekend. After the
initial technical problems by the band the evening was a complete
success, both financially and entertainment wise. It was good to see
the number of neolaia in attendance which added to a mix of young
and old enjoying a traditional Greek evening of dance and music. A
special “thank you” goes out all the people that helped prepare for
the evening, especially the guys in the kitchen who slaved away all
night to make sure that 380 people were well looked after. Extra
special thanks to all our sponsors, Harvey World Travel, The Cue
Room, The Local, Naenae Holiday Shoppe and TBD.
After a recent meeting I had with Mr Piperides from the Hellenic
Embassy, I was given the information that: Sacraments such as
weddings and births (baptisms) made by Hellenes or mixed Hellenes
(at least one of the parents is Hellenic) SHOULD be declared at
the Hellenic Embassy. This is of a great national importance as
well as an important issue when one applies for a Hellenic Passport.
OFFICE OPENING HOURS:
Monday & Tuesday 6-7 p.m.
Thursday & Saturday 11-12 a.m.
Those needing the Priest outside the above hours,
please ring 972 6164 or 021 2580220.
• At a recent meeting with the Greek Community it was decided
amicably between both associations to have a closer understanding
of the requirements of Greek youth in Wellington. GOYANZ will
be working with the Greek Community proactively to promote youth
related activities, namely in two distinct areas: sport and culture.
Obviously we need feedback from Greek youth to help in future
planning of such events and we have designed a brief survey to help
with the process. You can complete the questionnaire on page 11
or vote online at www.goyanz.org.nz. GOYANZ looks forward to
positive feedback from its members. As always the door is open to
anybody to contribute to our association. All you have to do is
contact any committee member to be involved.

The Holy Metropolis of New Zealand in an effort to explore
different avenues of how and why young people DO NOT attend
spiritual discurses, we are going to make one more change to the
English Bible Studies time and see if this time a miracle will happen.
• Additionally it was agreed in principle to allow Father Panayiotis
Bouras the opportunity to appear on the GOYANZ Radio
programme in his own time slot. Father Bouras will be broadcasting
whenever Vivienne Varouhas is on. Vivienne will continue with her
regular feature between 3.00 to 4.00 and Father Bouras will be on
at a time to be confirmed. GOYANZ would like to thank the Greek
Orthodox Community of Wgtn Inc for their support of the
extended programming.
So, English Bible Studies will be held every Saturday 11.30 to 12
p.m, following the Hellenic Bible Studies.

• Its all good news for Olympic AFC as we widen our player base,
facilities and coaching options. This year we have 12 junior teams,
3 netball teams, 7 senior men’s teams and 1 women’s soccer team.
We are currently in discussions with various groups in acquiring
club room facilities for our sports teams. The club room scenario
has been a controversial topic for many years now, with plenty of
options tried and discarded. As everyone knows there has been
dialogue between GOYANZ and The Apollon Inc. to use their
facilities on Adelaide Rd. This is still on the cards, however there
will be red tape to cut through before that can become a reality. I
can assure all members that GOYANZ is totally committed to the
Clubroom question and will be doing its utmost to resolve it in the
coming months.

Greek Biologists win the
2001 Goldman Environment Prize
providing the government in Skopje with the political excuse to alter
the country’s constitutionally-established name, which for years it had
steadfastly refused to do.
25/4/2001
Two Greek biologists were among the eight activists from Bolivia,
Rwanda, Greece, Indonesia, New Caledonia and the United States who
won the 2001 Goldman Environment Prize on Monday and each took
home $125,000 and a small statue.
Although United Nations-supervised talks between the two countries’
UN ambassadors have effectively ended, Ljubco Georgievski’s
government argued that it would be practically impossible to secure the
two-thirds parliamentary majority required to revise the constitution.
Greek biologists Myrsini Malakou and Giorgos Catsadorakis won for
their efforts to create a wetlands conservation area in remote
northwestern Greece, which crosses the borders of Albania and
FYROM. The wetlands of Prespa are one of the most biologically rich
and diverse regions in Europe. Over 260 species of birds migrate, winter
and breed there, including the world’s largest colony of the rare
Dalmatian pelican.
But the fighting of the past few months that poses a threat to the
country’s very existence, and which led to an agreement on a national
unity government, is expected to result in a change in the constitution
that will set the Albanian minority on an equal political status with the
Slav majority.
This revision will include replacing the current constitutionallyestablished name of “Republic of Macedonia” with “Gornamakedonia”
- Upper Macedonia - which Greece wants to see used as one word. As
it does not contain a geographical reference (such as “Northern
Macedonia,” for example, would involve) the name will offer no
opportunity for future territorial claims or demands for union with
Greece’s province of Macedonia
Athens 2004 is back on track
4 /5/2001
Senior International Olympic Committee member Jacques Rogge praised
Athens’ preparations for the 2004 Games on Friday and said there was
“no question” of them being moved to another country. After three
days of meetings with the organisers in Athens and the Greek
government, Rogge said the Greeks had to continue the efforts to be
ready in time.
Eurovision contest
14/5/2001
Greece’s entry in the Eurovision song
contest, by the duo of Greek-Swedes
Elena Paparizou and Nikos Panayiotidis
who go by the name Antique, achieved
the best result by Greeks in the annual
competition on Saturday, coming in third with ‘Die for You.’ The song,
with Greek and English lyrics, won 147 points, behind Estonia’s 198
and host Denmark’s 177. France was fourth with 142. Greece’s previous
best result was fifth place in 1977 and 1992.
The IOC warned Athens last year that the Games could be in danger if
officials failed to improve their organisation. But Rogge said on Friday:
“It is a totally different situation today, it is a very good organising
committee.” Asked about reports the Games might be moved to Sydney
or Seoul, he said: “I can rule out any other location than Athens. “The
Games will be held in Athens. No question about that.”
Rogge and more than 40 IOC inspectors questioned government
officials and Athens organizers about a number of long-delayed projects
- including key sports venues such as the weightlifting and wrestling
arenas. “The government is mostly respecting the deadlines with a slight
slippage - but without any consequence - in two or three buildings,”
Rogge said.
Miss Universe
14/5/2001
Evelina Papantoniou (right),
of Greece, was selected first
runner-up in the Miss
Universe contest in
Bayamone, Puerto Rico,
early Saturday. Beside her,
realizing that she has just
won the Miss Universe title
is Miss Puerto Rico, Denise
Quinones August, one of the
few contestants to win on home soil. Returning to Athens last night,
Papantoniou, a 22-year-old model, said, ‘I am very, very happy that I
was able to give the Greeks, and myself, such joy with this distinction.’
What she wanted now was a rest and a vacation, she said.
Agreement due on final name for FYROM
14/5/2001
Following nearly a decade of negotiations, Athens and Skopje are very
close to an agreement on the name under which the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia will be known. Officials from both countries
find the solution satisfactory and believe that once this last hurdle has
been removed bilateral political and financial relations will improve
while Greece and FYROM will be able to develop a strategic
cooperation.
The crisis affecting FYROM rendered such an agreement possible while

O
Seeing my late father’s family will be an emotional and difficult
time for both me and them. My father left Greece when he was 19
years old, and travelled by ship around the whole world before
settling in Australia. Apart from a brief visit back to his homeland
before he married, his family in Greece never got to see him ever
again; he passed away sadly in September. To them I am a remaining
memory of a brother and uncle they have lost. To me, they are a
family which I resent for not visiting Australia when they knew his
death from a terminal illness was pending. Our separate grieving
will be intensified when we meet for the first time since that tragic
day last year.
n the Friday that just passed I walked into the travel agent at
my University campus with a hot little piece of paper in my
hand- the cheque to pay for my travel to Greece. My Qantas
tickets were issued and I walked out of the office with a smile a mile wide.
Faced with finishing exams earlier than usual and an extra week in midyear break, these travel plans were somewhat hastily and spontaneously
organised. There was no turning back now, I am set to spend 5 weeks in
our homeland, visiting family and attending an island hopping prepaid tour. Starting and ending in Athens I will be going to Paros,
Santorini, Mykonos, and will take time-out in the “horio” in Epiros.
Now that my trip is less than a month away, I am a mixture of emotions.
In less than a month I will be spending time with people that have not
seen me since I was 9 years old. Cousins that I met as young single
ragers were now married with children. I will now be a young woman to
them, the same age my mother was when she left them to come to
Australia. The youngest of 7, she was the only one to migrate, amidst
disapproval by her older brothers. To her brothers and sisters I am a
niece they did not get to see grow up. To me, they are the cousins I
never get to see, creating pangs of jealousy when I see my own friends
spend time with their respective families.
My first holiday from study in 5 years, it is a time of both sadness
and happiness. There is much joy at the anticipation of seeing family
I have never known apart from photos and video tapes. Yet there is
much sadness at the prospect of meeting my father’s family, and
also at the knowledge that after 35 days in beautiful Greece, I will
have to say my good-byes and leave it all behind. Will I be a different
person when I get back? Will I have a different attitude towards
life? These questions will be answered on the 36th day, as only
time will tell.
A quick reference guide of essential remarks you can’t afford
not to make to your children during their formative and adult years

Participation Requirements: Participation to the World Camp 2001
is open to youth eighteen years old and over, who has at least one
parent of Hellenic descent.
T
uesday 24th April saw the first ever Greek Baraki night held in
New Zealand, although these events are common in larger
Greek communities found in countries such as Australia, South
Africa, USA and Canada (to name a few), the night at Diva on Dixon
Street was the beginning of something great for Wellington’s Hellenic
community.
Program of Events: The program of the World Camp 2001 is being
specifically designed for Diaspora youths. Among other events the
program will include:
*

*
*
Attracting over 250 people, Diva was the perfect venue for the event and although 250 sounds like a lot for the venue, there was plenty of
room for dancing ‘Greek Baraki Style’
Field trips to Archeological sites
Screening of Greek Films
Musical Nights
Many other cultural events and athletic activities
DJ Appa from Kivotos Bar on Russel Street (next to Lonsdale Street)
in the Greek Precinct of Melbourne (which we reviewed in Issue 2 in
‘The Neolaia’s Guide To Melbourne’) came over especially to spin the
tracks on the night. Thrashing out Kourkoulis, Pantazi, Garbi, Antique,
Livieratos and other songs that are played on the GOYANZ radio show
(3-4pm Sundays on 783 Access AM), the crowd showed their
appreciation with their feet, by dancing non-stop to the music. When
Appa started playing Filakia & To Kati, the night took off and we all
partied until the last people left at 6 a.m.
During the world camp period, the participants will have the
opportunity to take part in discussion groups that will raise issues
affecting world and Hellenic Youth. They will also be able to
participate in discussions regarding Greek traditions and culture. The
discussion groups will be organised in cooperation with the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki and the University of Macedonia.
Part of the above events and activities will also be the staging of
information sessions addressing the “Athens 2004” Olympic Games,
volunteerism and the activities of the World Council of Hellenes
Abroad and the SAE Youth Network.
This vradia not only proved popular with the Neolaia, but also with
the ‘oldies’ who stood at the back of the bar admiring how the Neolaia
were proud to be Greek - for many, this was the first opportunity to
witness the Neolaia really appreciating Greek music.
Expenses: The General Secretariat for Greeks Abroad and the General
Secretariat for Youth will cover expenses for lodging, food, cultural
events and travelling within Greece organised specifically for the World
Camp 2001 participants. Travel costs to and from Greece are to be
covered by the partcipants themselves.
This night not only proved that Greek Baraki Nights are popular, but
that there is also demand for more (and believe me, there are more on
the way!!). Many people did not come because they were apprehensive
about what the night would be like, however, I am sure they regret it
now, especially since there is a big demand for another one.
Further Details/Applications: Application forms may be filled out
online on the website of the World Council of Hellenes Abroad:
www.sae.gr as well as the Greek Embassy. Further details are also
available from SAE New Zealand youth representatives Stelios
Manousakis (04 3857222) and Vivienne Varouhas (04 384 6801).
As you can all see from the photos, everyone had a great time. Keep
your eyes and ears open for news on the next baraki night that will be
publicised by word of mouth. With your support, these events will
become a regular part of the Greek scene, and are guaranteed to become
bigger and better. Make sure you are part of the next BARAKI night!

Dear Thea, what should I do about the up and coming
GOYANZ dance? ... I want to go, but I also want to be in the
running for the free trip to Aussie. - Eleni
Aries Your increasing interest in Greek Music has compelled you to
take extreme measures in order get your hands on some. Are you staying
up all hours of the night listening to Greek radio stations over the
Internet? Or do you insist that you returned your friend’s CD, even
though it’s hidden in your top drawer? If so, then you have become an
addict. Going cold turkey is not the answer. You need to gradually cut
down on the amount you listen to. Start with your most loved singer
and remove CDs until you end up with Greek rap.
Taurus As the weather gets colder, and your thermal singlet sleeves
longer, you yearn for a trip somewhere tropical. Unfortunately it is not
a good time to travel. Your commitments at the shop are far too important
and you shouldn’t be wasting your money on holidays anyway.
Gemini This month you feel like you’re being pulled in two different
directions. It was only a matter of time before an open-minded person
entered your life, shocking you with their worldliness and contradicting
everything you have been brought up to believe was right. It’s time you
had that little talk with your parents.
Cancer Pull out your rolling pin (for baking) and the biggest pot in
your kitchen because this month you will find yourself unexpectedly
entertaining guests for candlelight dinners. Word will get around and
the whole neighbourhood will be at your doorstep wanting to taste
your culinary delights. Who can resist a good fasolatha or spanakopita?
Leo You will find yourself attracted to a tall person this month. However,
no matter how many bouquets of flowers or witty text messages you
send, they will not fall for your charms. You need to try something a
little less subtle. Gold jewellery always works.
Virgo It’s often not that easy to keep a new romance secret from your
fellow compatriots. However, the lengths you go to, such as forcing the
object of your affection to sit in the seat behind you at the movies, can
be very anti-social. The stresses of concealing your identity will not be
a problem for you this month, dear Virgo, as your social life will be
virtually non-existent.
Libra This month, be prepared to be bombarded with unwanted
attention from another Greek person. No amount of hints will
discourage their infatuation for you, forcing you to take drastic measures
such as faking an allergy for rebetika music.
Scorpio You always enjoy Greek Easter because of its gossip and perve
factor and this year was no exception. However, be warned. Do not be
deceived by that person who caught your eye under the Epitafio and set
your candle alight. They may not be all that they seem.
Sagittarius Luck is with you this month. It seems that everything you
touch will turn to 24-carat gold and you can’t put a stiletto or black
patented heel wrong. Be warned that your confident exterior will bring
out the green-eyed monster. Wear your filakto at all times.
Capricorn Has all that Post-Easter feasting caught up on you? Maybe
it’s time you started a new exercise regime. And no, a little midnight
bar-hopping after a big bowl of macaronada does not count.
Aquarius Your starsign is known for its lazy streak and this month is
no exception. Your mother, however, seems to be nagging you a lot
more than usual to clean your room. Could she inviting someone over?
Do not settle for less than five goats. You are worth far more than that.
Pisces Do you sometimes sense that big brother is watching you?
Well that’s because he is. Your parents have instructed him to install
state-of-the-art surveillance cameras to patrol your every move. (And
they told you that the money they were saving was for your dowry).
I fear you will be getting this information too late, but this is
what I advise you to do in preperation for GOYANZ 2002.
You need to go to the hairdressers, get your nails done, buy
an expensive dress and make it really obvious that you want
to be embarrassed and chosen for the crown. This way, you
will fit in with all of the koritsia who are also obviously trying
really hard to get it too!.

Dear Thea, my problem is this: I have been seeing a ‘good
Greek boy’ for a while now and feel that we should move on
to the next step. He is scared because he thinks that I want
to get married , but I don’t!!!!!! What do you suggest? Anna
Anna, have you told him? I have had many letters about
similar topics. Give him a couple of weeks and then stand
your ground and leave him. His brother seems nice - trust
me!

Dear Thea, at the Baraki night at Diva not long ago, I had
this urge to dance on the bar and really get funky with it, but
I felt a little uncomfortable as no one else was doing that.
What do you think I should have done? Haralambe
You should have got up on the bar, danced a tsiftetelli or
zembekiko, and danced a couple of figoures as a personal
challenge to see if you could touch the ceiling without falling
off the bar!!! Wait until the next one in a couple of months,
and then I will arrange a competition where others can join
you in it too.

Dear Thea, my name is Roberta and I am currently courting
with a lovely, energetic, courteous Greek gentleman. When
I was looking for my Home & Garden magazine I stumbled
across this publication. I hope that you will be able to assist
me. I can not grasp the concept of the Greek religion, cuisine,
celebrations and common culture of attending The Big Easy.
Would you be ever so kind and explain the notions to me.
Kindest regards, Roberta.
Dear Roberta,Mate! You found yourself a lovely, energetic,
courteous Greek gentleman? Where? - for how much?!!
Listen, seriously, when you get your head around it all, drop
me another e-mail about it, I’ll publish it and then we’ll all
know!!!

What is meant by “the Orthodox Church”?
By the Metropolitan Chancellor of the Archdiocese of NZ, Very Reverend Dr Panayiotis Bouras
T
the rule of a Non -Christian government. Such are the main stages,
which have determined the external development of the Orthodox
Church.
he divisions, which have brought about the present
fragmentation of Christendom, occurred in three main stages,
at intervals of roughly five hundred years. The first stage in
the separation came in the fifth and sixth centuries, when the “Lesser”
or “Separated” eastern Churches became divided from the main body
of Christians. These Churches fall into two groups, the Nestorian
Church of Persia, and the five Monophysite Churches of Armenia,
Syria (the so-called “Jacobite” Church), Egypt (the Coptic Church),
Ethiopia, and India. The Nestorians and Monophysites passed out of
western consciousness even more completely than the Orthodox Church
was later to do. When Rabban Sauma, a Nestorian monk from Peking,
visited he west in 1288 (he travelled as far as Bordeaux, where he gave
communion to King Edward of England), he discussed theology with
the Pope and Cardinals at Rome, yet they never seem to have realised
that from their point of view he was a heretic. As a result of this first
division, Orthodoxy became restricted on its eastward side mainly to
the Greek-speaking world. Then came the second separation,
conventionally dated as the year 1054. The main body of Christians
now became divided into two communions: in western Europe, the
Roman Catholic Church under the Pope of Rome; in the Byzantine
Empire, the Orthodox Church of the East. Orthodoxy was now limited
on its westward side as well. The third separation, between Rome and
the Reformers in the sixteenth century, is not here our direct concern.
Geographically its primary area of distribution lies in eastern Europe,
in Russia, and along the coasts of the eastern Mediterranean. It is
composed at present of the following self-governing or “autocephalous”
Churches:
1. The four ancient Patriarchates:
Constantinople (6,000,000)
Alexandria (350,000)
Antioch (750,000)
Jerusalem (60,000)
Though greatly reduced in size, these four Churches for historical reasons
occupy a special position in the Orthodox Church, and rank first in
honour. The heads of these four Churches bear the title Patriarch.
2. Nine other autocephalous Churches:
Russia (50-85,000,000)
Romania (17,000,000)
Serbia in Yugoslavia; 8,000,000)
Greece (9,000,000)
Bulgaria (6,000,000)
Georgia (5,000,000)
Cyprus (450,000)
Poland (750,000)
Albania (210,000 in 1944)
It is interesting to note how cultural and ecclesiastical divisions coincide.
Christianity, while universal in its mission, has tended in practice to be
associated with three cultures: the Semitic, the Greek, and the Latin. As
a result of the first separation the Semitic Christians of Syria, with
their flourishing school of theologians and writers, were cut off from
the rest of Christendom. Then followed the second separation, which
drove a wedge between the Greek and the Latin traditions in Christianity.
So it has come about that in Orthodoxy the primary cultural influence
has been that of Greece. Yet it must not therefore be thought that the
Orthodox Church is exclusively a Greek Church and nothing else, since
Syrian and Latin Fathers also have a place in the fullness of Orthodox
tradition.
All except three of these Churches - Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Albania
- are in countries where the Christian population is entirely or
predominantly Orthodox. The Churches of Greece, Cyprus, and Sinai
are Greek; five of the others -Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
Poland - are Slavonic. The heads of the Russian, Romanian, Serbian,
and Bulgarian Churches are known by the title Patriarch; the head of
the Georgian Church is called Catholicos - Patriarch; the heads of the
other churches are called either Archbishop or Metropolitan.
While the Orthodox Church became bounded first on the eastern and
then on the western side, it expanded to the north. In 863 Saint Cyril
and Saint Methodius, the Apostles of the Slavs, travelled northward to
undertake missionary work beyond the frontiers of the Byzantine
Empire, and their efforts led eventually to the conversion of Bulgaria,
Serbia, and Russia. As the Byzantine power dwindled, these newer
Churches of the north increased in importance, and on the fall of
Constantinople to the Turks in 1453 the Principality of Moscow was
ready to take Byzantium’s place as the protector of the Orthodox world.
Within the last 150 years there has been a partial reversal of the situation.
Although Constantinople itself still remains in Turkish hands, a pale
shadow of its former glory, the Church in Greece is free once more; but
Russia and the other Slavonic peoples have passed in their turn under
3. There are in addition several Churches, which, while self-governing
in most respects, have not yet attained full independence. These are
termed autonomous but not “autocephalous”:
Czech and Slovakia (100,000)
Finland (66,000)
Sinai (900)
China (perhaps 10,000-20,000)
Japan (35,000)
There is also three autonomous Church administrations among the
Russians outside Russia, with perhaps one million faithful.

COMING UP MAJOR FEAST DAYS!
missionary. He founded many churches and wrote letters to them. These
letters are found in the books of the New Testament. It was during the
reign of the Emperor Nero that he was martyred in Rome. We celebrate
the feast day of both on June 29th.
HOLY FATHERS OF THE FIRST ECUMENICAL SYNOD
The 7th Sunday after Pascha is dedicated to the memory of the Holy
Fathers of the First Ecumenical Synod. A synod is a gathering (meeting)
of the fathers of the church in order to discuss various important matters
of faith. The Emperor Constantine called a meeting in Nicaea, a city in
Asia Minor in 325AD and 318 holy fathers attended. The purpose of
this synod was to deal with Arius, who taught that Christ was a creation
of God. He denied Christ’s divinity. The synod condemned the Arian
heresy. The Holy Fathers strove to illuminate mankind with their correct
teachings. The Nicene Creed was written during this synod and it
states the basic beliefs of the church. It is recited during the Divine
Liturgy.
FEAST DAY OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
Each of the Apostels has his own feast day. The church has set a day
aside to commemorate and honour all together, that is June 30th.
PROPHET ELIJAH(ELIAS)
Elijah is one of the many spiritual men of the Old Testament, he is one
of the prophets. He was a fearless man of God who preached against
wrong behaviour of the people of Israel and their belief in false gods.
He was privileged not to die a natural death on earth because according
to tradition he was taken up into heaven in a flaming chariot. One can
read about his life in “The Old Testament” in 1 Kings chapters 17-22
and 11Kings chapters 1 and 2.
PENTECOST
Forty days after Easter our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Just
before he ascended he promised his disciples that he would send them
a helper - the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would be with them to give
them spiritual strength to carry the message of Christ throughout the
world. It is the fulfilment of this promise that we celebrate on Pentecost
Sunday and is celebrated fifty days after Easter. During the Divine
Liturgy on this day there are three prayers that are read about the miracle
of Pentecost. All the congregation kneels and prays that the power of
the Holy Spirit will enter our hearts and give us spiritual strength to
live out our lives according to the will of God. Let the Holy Spirit
enter your heart because this is the true meaning of Pentecost. One can
read about this in the bible, refer to John 7:37-52, 8:12.
ST. CHRISTINA -not such a well known saint
Christina was born in the city of Tyre, Syria and she was the daughter
of Urban, the imperial deputy, an idol worshipper. Christina was a
young woman full of beauty and intellect. Her father tried to conceal
her from the world and he forced her to live in the top level of a tower.
Through her own natural understanding she came to the firm belief in
the one living God. The merciful God, seeing her longing for the truth,
sent his angel who traced the sign of the cross upon Christina and
called her the bride of Christ and completely instructed her in godly
understanding. She then smashed all idols in her quarters and provoked
wild fury in her father. She was brought to trial by her father. She was
tortured by two imperial deputies(Dion and Julian) and her suffering
ended with death beneath the sharp sword. Christina suffered in the
third century. We celebrate her feast day on July 24th.
SUNDAY OF ALL SAINTS
There are a huge number of unknown saints. Many Christians were
put to death because of their belief in Christ in the early years of the
Church and we do not know them all by name. For this reason, the
Church devotes one Sunday of the year to commemorate all the Saints
of the Church both known and unknown. It is celebrated one week
after Pentecost.
ST. PANTELEIMON (THE MERCIFUL)
He lived in Asia minor, the city of Nicomedia. He studied medicine
under the great physician of the empire (Euphrosinos). He was admired
by all. On his way to do his rounds he met a man by the name of
Ermolaos, who talked to him about the meaning of Christianity.
Panteleimon became a devout Christian and was baptised. The Emperor
learned about his faith, ordered he be tortured because he didn’t swear
allegiance to the pagan gods. He was subjected to the henchman’s axe
and died on July 27th, 304AD.
STS PETER AND PAUL.
St. Peter is one of the 12 followers of Christ (APOSTLES) and he is
seen as the leader. He was closely connected with the life and ministry
of our Lord. In the course of his journeys, he founded the Church in
Antioch. St. Paul wasn’t one of the chosen 12. He was converted to
Christianity on the Damascus Road. Refer to Acts 9: 1-22 for his
conversion. Paul spread the word of God in many places - he was a
Holy Communion or just a Port?
By the Metropolitan Chancellor of the Archdiocese of NZ, Very Reverend Dr Panayiotis Bouras
wish to congratulate all those young ladies and gentlemen who
had the courage to come again forward this year and receive Holy
Communion. And I wish to congratulate them because they had
to go against all odds for one more year. Fight with their conscience,
fight with their peer groups, fight with their NZ cultures and stay firm
in the Orthodox vivid religion as well as culture which burns inside
their hearts. Good on you my friends!
I
Do not allow yourselves to be like those young and old who, although they
have full consciousness of what they are doing, they persistently wish to be
“occasional passers-by”. They usually come to the Church ONLY once or
twice a year receive what they THINK is holy communion, totally
disregarding that it is their heart, mind, consciousness, presence and good
deeds that will transform the port they receive into Holy Communion in
co-operation with the Priest’s intervention.
Now, how about if this time we try to rid our selves from those little
fears, buts and ifs and find out WHAT we are doing and WHY we are
doing it. Come along with us; learn the reasons that lie behind all these
“cultural events”. Do not stay just as observers BECOME partakers.
Come and utilise that which is already in your hearts - HEROISM!
And Hope for the future.
Congratulations again!

Warzycha dreams of cup before retirement
Greece beat England 3-1 in a European championship under-21 group
nine qualifier played at Apostolos Nikolaidis stadium in Athens on
Tuesday night. Greece’s goals were scored by Papadopoulos in the 26th
minute, Vakouftsis in the 42nd and Terry with an own goal in the 60th.
Carick scored for England in the 86th minute.
Christov Warzycha will not terminate his football career before he lifts
one more Premiership Cup. The Polish ace of Panathinaikos said he
still feels fit to play for at least one more year with the “Greens” and
that his longing is to see both Panathinaikos and himself Greek
champions before he retires.
Greece agree joint Euro 2008 bid with Turkey
30th title celebration
9/5/2001
20/5/2001
Traditional foes Greece and Turkey have agreed to make a united bid to
host the 2008 European soccer championship, Greek officials said on
Wednesday. “The Greek Football Association (EPO) has accepted the
Turkish proposal in writing,” EPO president Konstantinos Alexandridis
told reporters. Before accepting the offer, the EPO had sought the
consent of Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou and Sports
Minister Giorgos Floridis. “We are totally committed to doing this,”
an EPO official said. “We will start discussions with the Turkish Football
Association soon.”
Olympiakos have officially celebrated their fifth consecutive Greek
Premier League title and their thirtieth in total at a glorious fiesta on
Sunday. During their last home match, the Reds beat Athinaikos 1-0
but it was what followed that raises interest: fireworks, a wild party and
unforgettable moments were shared by thousands of Olympiakos fans.
Alekos Alexandris scored Olympiakos’ goal in the 38th minute to reach
a 20 in total this season and retain top place in the scorer’s table.
Athletes To Recruit Volunteers
The official said the EPO would meet the Turkish FA on July 25 in
Turkey to discuss further details including proposals for venues and
facilities in preparation for the bid. The decision comes just days after
Greek football was placed under a three-month probation period by
the world soccer governing body FIFA over state interference in the
domestic game. FIFA had initially considered expelling all Greek teams
from European and international competitions until changes in recent
sports legislation ensured EPO’s complete independence from the
government. Belgium and the Netherlands were the first countries to
jointly host the European championship, in 2000.
30/5/2001
Team Sports athletes are working closely with ATHOC in developing
the Olympic Volunteer Programme and promoting the Olympic Spirit
for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. A delegation of the “Team Sports
Athletes’ Initiative” met with ATHOC President, Gianna AngelopoulosDaskalaki, at ATHOC Headquarters to discuss ways of furthering the
common cause. “We want these athletes as role models, to help Greece
cultivate inspiring examples through Sport. We believe the 2004 Olympic
Games provide us with this unique opportunity,” said the President,
Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki.
The 2002 World Cup will also be a co-production, by South Korea
and Japan. Greece successfully hosted the world athletics championships
in 1997 and is preparing to host the Olympics in 2004. Constantinople
is bidding for the 2008 summer Games. Greece and Turkey have long
been at odds over a series of political and military issues including
sovereignty in the Aegean sea and the divided island of Cyprus. They
came close to war in 1996 over an uninhabited islet in the eastern
Aegean. But destructive earthquakes in both countries three years ago
triggered mutual waves of sympathy and helped to thaw the frosty
relations.
Panagiotis Fassoulas, member of Parliament and former centre- forward
of the National Basketball Team, stressed his conviction that the sports
movement, the sporting family, should be the forerunner in recruiting
volunteers.
Thessaloniki Ecstatic: PAOK Wins Greek Cup
13/5/2001
Exultant fans are still celebrating the triumph of PAOK Thessaloniki
which won the Greek Soccer Cup last night, after beating Olympiakos
4-2 in a match played in Athens.
Waterpolo
The Cup final was played at the Nea Philadelphia stadium in Athens
before a crowd of 13,000 spectators. The match was also attended by
the President of the Hellenic Republic Costis Stephanopoulos and
featured a 4,000-men police force in an effort to avert potential melees
between the dueling fans.

PM pays tribute at Crete memorial
Working holiday deal planned
May 19, 2001
ATHENS - May 19, 2001
Prime Minister Helen Clark,
accompanied by Maori warriors,
has paid tribute to the soldiers
who fought 60 years ago in the
Battle of Crete. Hundreds of
locals and war veterans gathered
at the small village of Galatas on
the Greek island of Crete to
mark the anniversary of one of
the bloodiest battles in World
War Two.
NZ Prime Minister Helen Clark and her Greek counterpart Costas
Simitis have agreed during talks in Athens to move ahead with a working
holiday agreement for young people. The two leaders have also discussed
the possibility of Greece importing New Zealand sheep following the
recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Europe. And Simitis
says they spoke about New Zealand companies helping Athens prepare
for the 2004 Olympics.
Clark also promised New Zealand’s support in Greece’s bid for a
temporary seat on the UN Security Council in 2004.
Clark, who is attending what is seen as the last big commemoration of
the battle, laid a wreath at a monument marking the Galatas battle,
where 671 New Zealanders were killed. “It was my first time back to
Crete in 60 years. When I got off the plane I was crying,” said veteran
Alan Hepburn, 78, from Methven. “Now we have this (ceremony). We
are happy.”
About 4,000 allied troops - from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and
mainland Greece - were killed in eleven days of some of the fiercest
fighting in World War Two before the Germans took the island. New
Zealanders paid a high price. Thousands were captured and hundreds
were wounded. At Galatas, site of a fierce battle and defiant countercharge, Maori soldiers began the assault with haka war cries, working
up their comrades into a frenzy. Clark planted a tree in their memory
near the monument where a fire burned in a cauldron made of World
War Two machine guns and helmets.
High temperatures send Athenians to beaches
ATHENS, MONDAY, MAY 21, 2001
A boy dives into the sea
near Vouliagmeni, south of
Athens, yesterday. Despite
the generally overcast
skies over the capital,
thousands of Athenians
made for the nearest
beaches in unseasonably
high
temperatures.
Although forecasts of 36
degrees centigrade were not borne out yesterday, in parts of Crete the
heat reached 34° C . The weather is expected to be slightly cooler today,
with temperatures reaching a high of 31C.

Stathe Apostolakis and
his 7th Grade “Tigers”
Until recently we did not have “Olympic 3” in action
one specific coach to show us the way, but then along came Gloria Stellin.
With her “stop talking”, “we’re here to play netball” and “get on with it”
attitude we were all quickly put in line and made to focus on the task at
hand.
Although we are all in the social grade, the results of Gloria’s strict training
are evident with the good passing skills demonstrated in the games and by
going to ‘back to basics’ we have begun to master the skills of this physically
demanding sport!
All of the koritsia (37 in fact) are of Greek decent and proud to wear the
lovely blue pleated skirts with our white and blue tops - and YES, WE
LOOK GOOD!! (good enough for proxenio if you still believe in it). The
ages, well, lets just say they vary from young toooo ........... yeah, I’ll leave it at
that.
7th Grade “Jaguars” and “Kiwis”
So, on a Saturday morning if you have some spare time, come along to the
Hataitai courts, hold that Greek flag high and let us see it flapping in the
wild Wellington wind and show us your support. And by the way, no
oranges at half time, only OUZO or TSIKOUDIA accepted.
Mid-season Olympic Soccer review
Federation Premier: Had poor start to season with loss to Wests and have
lost several players to injury and unavailability. Squad depth has seen them
through a tough period but have had more downs than ups so far. Chatham
cup performance against Manawatu was excellent and something to build
on. Rating: 5/10
Federation Reserves: Great form and consistency but have been let down
by inexperience in games that should have been won like Coast Utd. Can’t
ask for more from this young team with several players now getting regular
first team runs. Can go all the way if Shayne can hold team together.
Rating 8.5/10
Wellington 1: A team plagued with injuries and losing players to higher teams.
However have fought back recently with 3 straight wins. A good mix of experience
and youth have combined into a competitive unit. Could suffer as season goes on
with players helping Federation teams. Rating: 6.5/10
Wellington 3: Unbeaten all year until last weekend when they played Wests
2nd team. Can’t say more for this team other than the fact that they have
represented Olympic with pride. Also known as the “Police” team, need
only to keep their nerve to win their division comfortably. Rating: 9/10
7th Grade “Lions”
Wellington 5: Have battled on with not enough players all season in a
tougher division than last year. Can not field a consistent team week to week
and have suffered accordingly. Will keep plugging on for the rest of the year
and do their best for the club. Rating: 5/10
Wellington 9: By all reports a great season so far with consistent results and
good form. The “Doctors” team as they are known are improving by the
season and should finish in top half of table. Rating: 8/10
Masters 1: George Bertos has molded together a group of “older” players
who have been competitive in most games so far. Have had plenty of great
results with the occasional bad one thrown in for good measure. Considering
the amount of player numbers used up, excellent season so far.
Rating: 7.5/10
Womens 3: Great first year showing by the girls. Commitment and team
spirit have got this team through some tome tough games this year. Are 4th
in a 14 team division and doing very well. Rating: 8/10
