Wine Feast Day at Red Hill Greek Orthodox Church
It was a great day for Festivals today..From the St Kilda festival which was attended by 400,000 people to the annual Wine Feast Day at the Greek church at Red Hill.
I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of this Greek festival. Next year I am definitely organising a huge group of friends, Greek, Anglo, Italian and even Swedish to go and enjoy. After Pater Lefteri finished his liturgy, he blessed the grapes which were then handed out to all the parishioners and the fun began….

Food is the only reason I am living for right now. I would love to visit Greece at this time because I will not be able to travel again, therefore I would like to enjoy most of Greece in my trip right now. The reason behind not being able to visit again would be the university, I will not be able to get my holidays again therefore I wish to visit at the time of Carnival Festival Greece.
