For over 45 years, the Ladies Society of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church,the Philoptochos, has prepared their authentic Greek fare in two small church kitchens using recipes passed down from generation to generation and producing a menu of Greek favorites like, Mousaka, Pastichio, Manestra, Spanakopita, Tyropita, Dolmades, as well as succulent Greek pastries such as, Baklava, Diples and Kataifi. This year alone, the Philoptochos, has baked, kneaded, cooked, and fried over 2500 pieces of spanakopita, 4500 pieces of baklava and 3000 pieces of diples. Many of these recipes are now available in our Community Cookbook
The first three-day festival began in 1960, as an expansion of our one-day bazaar that was established in the late 1940s. The festival is our way of sharing our culture with surrounding community. Our 84-year old Church was started by a small group of Greek immigrants in 1918 at 6th and C Streets, NW, in Washington, D.C., headed up by Fathers Menides and Metaxopoulos with a small congregation of 100. The 16th and Upshur location was acquired in 1954 to fulfill the growing numbers of parishioners currently at over 1400 members. For more history click here.

IRENE FASSOLAKIS
Born to Greek immigrants Stelios and Sofia, from the islands of Chios and Naxos, Irene Fassolakis was born and raised in Washington, DC. At a very young age, she showed an intense interest in music, dance, and art. She attended private schools starting with The Reverend Thomas Daniels Greek Orthodox School in Washington, DC up through Marymount University in Arlington, VA, where she became the first female undergraduate to receive a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, minoring in Fine Arts. Although she's been an oil painter since 1991, Irene spent most of her professional experiences in marketing but took a break to pursue a Master Certificate in Digital Multimedia and Web Design from the computer school at Johns Hopkins University. Since 2002, she has also been one of the lead vocalists for a Greek band, traveling the East Coast for weddings, festivals, and other social events. She is preparing to debut her first CD set with the band in the winter of 2008. Additionally, Irene has performed several voice overs for WTOP in Washington, DC and is preparing to enter a new chapter of radio by hosting a weekly Greek radio program, Radio Olympus. |
DIMITRI SOTIS
Dimitri was born on December 6 and grew up in Muncie, Indiana. I've never done anything else and I've known from age 10 that this is what I wanted to do. I was one of those "nerds" who had a "pretend" radio station in my basement. When I was 12 I had an afternoon paper route and, later, a part-time job in a food warehouse. I took all of my earnings and bought two turntables, an audio mixer, a microphone and some speakers and set up a studio in my basement. Every afternoon I'd come home from school and go "on the air." Then at five o'clock, I'd run upstairs to the living room to watch reruns of "WKRP in Cincinnati." It's embarrassing but true. My parents are the only real heroes in my life. They both came to the United States from Greece to go to college and they never left. My dad taught me how to think critically, how to quickly size up a situation and how important it is to save money and spend it wisely. My mother taught me how to behave properly in social situations, how to be organized and how important it is to do a job thoroughly and not to cut corners. |
