May seems to be the month when a lot of Greek Festivals take place. Our family loves to celebrate our Greek heritage with the delicious food...
festive dancing...
and religious art.
This year, my brother treated my mom to festival tickets and a hearty sampling of homemade dishes.
In addition to the baklava and powdered sugar cookies (my mom's favorite), there was a scrumptious new chocolate dessert, which went perfectly with the rich coffee.
My mom and brother admired the beautiful brick buildings, ornate lanterns, and paintings of two very special saints.
I wasn't able to make the festival myself this year, but the pictures made me feel like I was there. Hope you enjoyed this little taste of Greece yourself!
