14.01.2022 Bread in Greece "(...)Greek sailors and traders brought the Egyptian flour to Greece and the baking of bread started. White bread was the most popular back then, and Athens was "bragging" about 'Thearios', her best baker, a name often found in lots of writings of known authors. In medieval times, bread in Europe apart from nourriture was also a piece of china. Staleness bread was often used as a soup bowl, and then given to the unprivileged or to the dogs. In the 5th centu...ry, it got replaced by wooden bowls.(...) The wooden oven with an accessible door to preheat seems to be a Greek invention." Source:

04.01.2022 Mati or Mataki or The Evil Eye Did you know? The Evil Eye, known as mati () in Greek is a curse thought to be given by a malicious glare that can cause bad luck or loss. ...... Elderly Greek people specifically are known to break the spell of "mati" by reading a Greek prayer. It is believed that Greeks commonly protect themselves from "mati" by carrying a depiction of an eye with them. If it happens to break, it is believed that it did its job, it protected you from harm and it is time to be replaced with a new one. How about you, do you believe in "mati"?
