The Greek Orthodox Community of South Australia (GOCSA) commemorated Greek Independence Day on Sunday, March 29, with a church service and festivities and brought together many members of the community for this celebration.
To begin the day, a Doxology service was conducted by the community clergy at the Cathedral of Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Commemorations later moved to front of the war memorial in the church courtyard. A memorial service was held and was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and the singing of the Greek and Australian national anthems.
Following the memorial, GOCSA Greek language schools participated in the festivities at the Olympic Hall. The festivities involved student performances of songs and poems. The school’s Dance Academy also performed.
The events were attended by official guests, community members and the GOCSA Administrative and Supervisory Committees.
