The beauty of our church ☦️⛪️

At 3:00 a.m. on the morning of October 28th, 1940, Emanuele Grazzi, the Italian ambassador to Greece, delivered an ultimatum from Benito Mussolini to Prime Minister loannis Metaxas. II Duce demanded that Metaxas allow the Italian army free passage to enter and occupy strategic sites in Greece

Faced with this demand, Metaxas delivered an unequivocal response in French, the diplomatic language of the day, "Alors, c'est la guerre."

This brief phrase, "Then, it is war," was quickly
transmuted into "Oxi," the Greek word for no, by the citizens of Athens.

Despite Greece's ultimate fall to Axis powers, Metaxas' response resulted in a fatal diversion and delay for the Axis powers in general and the German army specifically.

British military historian Sir John Keegan describes the Battle of Greece as "decisive in determining tie future course of the Second World."

Have you ever noticed the commemorative street signs on Prince of Wales Drive?

In 2019, they were generously donated by the City of Ottawa and the family of Nick and Argiro Lafkas!
