RG134-12-10Description
Nick Theodore’s “A Taste of Greece in Greenville” chronicles the journey of Greek immigrants who settled in Greenville, South Carolina, in the early 20th century. Facing hardship but driven by faith and ambition, they established homes, businesses—especially cafes and bakeries—and the St. George Greek Orthodox Church. These immigrants preserved their cultural heritage through religious observances, patriotic celebrations, and community institutions like AHEPA and Philoptochos. The Greenville Greek Festival and expanding church facilities reflect their lasting influence. Today, descendants thrive in diverse professions, reflecting a proud legacy of resilience, faith, and integration, with the belief that “the best is yet to come.”Collection
