2010 Greek Flag Raising Ceremony
On March 25, 2010, the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wilkes-Barre held a Greek flag raising ceremony at the Luzerne County Courthouse in Wilkes-Barre in order to honor the 189th anniversary of the Independence of the Greeks from the Ottoman Empire on March 25, 1821. After the Holy Annunciation of the Virgin Mary church service, parishioners proceeded to the courthouse, heard Father George Dimopoulos, Dr. Aphrodite Togias, and a courthouse representative speak, and sang the national anthem of Greece while the Greek flag was being raised.
