Dear Friends, On behalf of the parishioners of the Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church in Castro Valley, it is my personal joy to welcome all of you to our 40th annual Greek Festival. For forty years, all of our parishioners have viewed the Greek Festival as an opportunity to immerse our local community into the richness of Greek culture, cuisine and, most importantly, our Orthodox Faith.
Take the opportunity to walk through our entire complex: the Church, Hall (where we have ala carte food, pastries, and shopping), and Tent where our live band will offer you excellent entertainment and you can even try some Greek dancing! The word "Orthodox" means "right faith" and the expression of that faith. Today, there are approximately 250-300 million Greek Orthodox Christians in the world. Although the Church is called "Greek" Orthodox, the parishioners are not all of Greek descent, as not all parishioners of the Roman Catholic Church are Roman. Our Church always welcomes those from other religious backgrounds to experience our Divine Liturgy and participate in communal worship. Thank you again for participating in our Greek Festival. Enjoy the experience and may God bless you and yours. Respectfully, Father Michael PrevasPARISH PRIEST
Welcome to the Castro Valley Greek Festival You’re here because you
can’t help it. In a sense, you were already here anyway. No, really. Even our language betrays our predecessors’ love for Greek things. Words like orthodontist, television, marathon, democracy, thermometer, and microwave reveal that our ancestors couldn’t come up with any better words on their own, so they just stole what was already available. Rock-and-roll may have started
in America with Bill Haley, but the word guitar comes from kithara, the Greek word for harp. There’s an Athens in Georgia, a Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, and there are Trojans at USC who fight the Spartans in San Jose. The hurricane Irene (somewhat ironically, from the Greek word for peace) just rolled through Virginia and New York six weeks ago. We can’t escape from Greek. And there’s our people.
There are prominent Americans of Greek descent in entertainment, politics, religion, transportation, education, literature, hospitality, finance, fashion, sports, the military, and restaurants. Greeks lead and teach and serve us every day. We work and play with Greeks. Greeks are our neighbors. In World War Two, our Greek allies were formidable enemies of forces of tyranny and evil.

It was fearless Greek troops who, along with Americans, created the predecessor to the agency that secured a common Western agenda through the Cold War. Greece drips from our Federal architecture, our art and music, our political and religious and culinary heritage. So you come to the Greek Festival, in a way, to remember who you are. It was already in your soul. Now you’re just letting it show a little. Besides, there’s the baklava. And gyros.
And pastitsio, and a Taverna, and the galaktobureko in the kafenion. And there’s dancing! You’re here for the food. And the dancing. And because it’s cheaper than flying to Greece.Thank you for supporting our festival. We’re gladyou’ve come to join us
and be a part of us. You’re welcome here. Read on and learn a little bit more about our congregation’s culture. Join in and feel it for yourself. Not all of us are Greek. Neither are all ofyou. But for a few days every October, who can tell?

Resurrection Church—A Forty Year OdysseyFor some reason, God likes
the number 40. Noah’s Ark was adrift for 40 days (which we mimic in the observance of Lent until we, too, are rescued), God’s people spent 40 years before they were ready for the place God was bringing them to. Elijah’s fast and Jesus’ fast were both 40 days. We turn 40 this year. Here are some of the things we’ve done:1971 – First Liturgy. Fr. George Stephanides arrives.1973 –Center Street property purchased.1974 – Father Chris Maniudakis arrives. 1980 – Church consecrated by Bishop Anthony. Fr. Michael Makredes arrives.
1983 – Fr. Tom Avramis arrives. 1985 -- Parish hosts Folk Dance Festival.1987-88 – Construction of Community Center.1989 – Parish hosts Oratorical Festival. 1991 – Fr. James Retelas arrives.1992 – Rise ‘N Shine pre-school opens.
Diamond Ct. 2006 – Paid Fellowship Hall mortgage.2007 – Finished office remodel and move. Moved festival back to church property.2011 – We continue to dream and drive a vision to how best to serve our members and our community.
1994 – Fr. Photios Dumont arrives.2003 – Co-hosted Metropolis Choir Conference.2004 – Fr. Michael Prevas arrives.2005 – Raised capital to pay off property on

By Kathy Angel, Dance Director — Greek dancing originated in pre-Christian times as the chorus in the ancient Greek plays. The chorus would sing and dance to provide a musical interlude between segments of the play. The only known dance to exist from ancient times is the Tsakonikos. It depicts
Greek dance: A preservation of ancient cultureinterplay resulted in a rich legacy of
regionalized dances and types of dress which vary greatly in style. The dances of the mainland tend to be heavier, whereas the dances of the islands are more lilting to represent the waves of the sea. The dances from the Ionian islands on the western coast
the story of Theseus leaving the labyrinth to escape from the minotaur. The land that eventually became Greece began as a collection of independent city-states. Even during the time of Alexander the Great or the Byzantine Empire, the majority of the population seldom traveled outside of their local villages, and if they did it would be to the nearest large city or town to get things they could not produce themselves or that were not available in their village. This
of Greece exhibit a degree of Italian influence, and the clothing is more European or Renaissance in style. The eastern Dodecanese islands, on the other hand, reveal oriental and Turkish influence and use more
silk and brocades in the clothing. The folk dances of Greece often tell a story, depict a historical event, or are tied to a particular season or observance. The dances are usually done in an open circle with the leader at the right, but there are also some

couples’ dances. The most common and popular dances of Greece are the Pan-Hellenic dances (as opposed to the regional ones). Among these dances are: Syrto - considered to be the national dance of Greece when done in the Kalamatiano style from the village of Kalamata in the Peloponnese. It features a variable rhythm. Hasapiko or Hasaposerviko - has an even beat rhythm in varying tempos depending on the song. The slower tempo has a walking pattern whereas the fast tempo has a bouncier step. Tsamiko - tends to be more popular with male dancers as the men will do fancy kicks,leaps, and flips when they lead the dance. Other dances include the Vari Hasapiko, often called Zorba’s dance, and the Karsilama, a dance for couples. Each dance features its own unique pattern. To fully immerse yourself in the Greek culture and learn each of the dances, come to the dance lessons. I will teach you to dance like a Greek.

Greek Cuisine 101: Introduction to YUM!By Elaine Schmitz, Author — My family
arrived in the U.S. around 1910, from three areas of Greece. They settled in America’s heartland, making their livings selling meals in restaurants and pastries in a snack shack. We lived in a Greek church-centered community while we melted into this country’s pot of so many different cultures. Many Greek traditions disappeared during the last century, but Greek food still graces my family’s tables every day. What is it about Greek cuisine that maintains its status as a perennial favorite whether you are a transplanted Greek or German or Italian or Mexican or Heinz-57 variety? I say fresh, healthy ingredients and mysterious and tasty herbs and spices blended with the right touch of good home cooking. Whether you try a simple-to-make Greek salad or the elaborate Pastitsio baked
casserole, you are in for a tangy, delicious dish. And, of course, the pastries are the food of the gods. The origins of Greek food are ancient. Greeks combine both common and rare ingredients to create their flavor sensations. Honey was used as the original sweetener and still is the go-to choice. It adds a unique toothsome taste and a pleasant moist texture to each bite. Egg/lemon sauces not only increase the nutritional content of such varied dishes as avgolemono soup, stuffed grape leaf dolmas, or meatballs, they also add a creamy, tasty flavor to each dish. Lemon paired with oregano lends a unique piquancy to meats, poultry, and fresh vegetables. Other ingredients are less well-known. Masticha has a romantic past. A tree sap only found on the southern end of the Aegean island of Chios, it was the favorite “gum” of the Sultan’s harem during the Ottoman Empire. It lends an indescribable yet delicate difference to cookies and holiday breads. Mahlepi, also esteemed in the Middle East, is an aromatic extract of the St. Lucie Cherry. Cinnamon, known in many cuisines, shows up in meat dishes and casseroles, adding a wonderful richness. Our festival offers you many venues to try our fabled and fabulous cuisine. We serve dinners and pastries in the main hall, and you can buy many mezedes—smaller portions of savory foods, like the meaty gyros and souvlakia and the phyllo-wrapped spanakopita and tiropites—in the outdoor booths. If you want to take the recipes home with you and cook your own Greek festival throughout the year, be sure to stop by our cooking demonstrations as well.
Elaine Schmitz is the author of Recipes and Recollections of my Greek American Family. She and her book can be found at the festival.
