"What 'Lord, have mercy' actually means in Greek (and why we say it forty times)" — by Fr. Konstantinos Papadakis, 2026-04-22. Two-sentence excerpt: "The Greek word 'eleos' is not 'pity' — it is olive oil, the salve poured on a wounded traveller's skin. When we sing 'Kyrie eleison' we are asking to be soothed, not pitied."

"Yiayia Eleni's Lenten fasolada — the Friday parish-hall version" — 2026-04-15. Excerpt: "Three onions, a tin of plum tomatoes, a generous pour of Kalamata olive oil at the end. Serves 80 if you bring bread."

"Father Dimitrios at the warehouse steps, May 1948" — by historian-in-residence Petros Kontaxis, 2026-04-08. Excerpt: "He was 33 years old in this photograph. The roof beams behind him had been donated the week before by Captain Spyros Manolakos of Piraeus."
