The city honored Greek Americans by raising the Greek flag in One Aurora Plaza. And while rain forced most of the celebration indoors, officials still honored Greek Aurorans for their contributions…
Aurora held a ceremony to honor the city’s Greek community on Monday to celebrate the 203rd anniversary of Greece’s independence. It’s no coincidence a monument honoring Greek Americans who fought in the battle for Greek independence resides in Aurora.
Father Panagiotis Boznos, of St. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church, reminded Greek Aurorans who gathered Monday to raise the Greek flag in honor of the country’s 203rd celebration of its independence of that very fact.It was that community that founded the Greek Orthodox church in the city in 1965, at first on Galena Boulevard then later in the bigger church where it stands today on Fifth Avenue in Aurora.
Alexandrou joked that everything got its start in Greece. But Mayor Richard Irvin said Alexandrou is only partly kidding when he “reminds me of that every day.” “They paved the way for someone like myself to represent our history and heritage as an alderman in Aurora,” he said.
