The adverse weather conditions, however, did not seem able to bend the spirit of the Homogenes and the 5th avenue acquired a Greek pulse and was filled with blue and white colors.
Under torrential rain, which confirmed the forecasts of the previous days of the meteorological service, the great parade of the Omogenia took place yesterday in Manhattan for the anniversary of the Greek Revolution of March 25, 1821.
The adverse weather conditions, however, did not seem able to bend the spirit of the Homogenes and the 5th avenue acquired a Greek pulse and was filled with blue and white colors.
Of course, the attendance of the people was not what was expected, which was normal, and those who attended, as well as the masters of ceremonies and the other officials, took refuge in their umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain. However, smiles and good mood were not lacking on this day, a symbol for all of Hellenism.
The Greek Independence Day Parade always stirs emotions, but this year in New York City, being with countless community members, young and old, marching for hours, even in a relentless downpour, was profoundly touching. God Bless you, Omogeneia! 🇬🇷🇨🇾💙⛈️#RainOrShine #proud pic.twitter.com/fO2UwqVH6H
