Commemorating the Annunciation of the Theotokos
Written By: Michalis Christos Xanthopoulos
On March 25th, we commemorate the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Ο Ευαγγελισμός της Θεοτόκου). Χρόνια Πολλά, indeed, because this event marks the anticipation of the greatest miracle: God becoming man and reconciling humanity with Himself, which had been estranged because of the fall of the human race by Adam and Eve. It was through the Virgin Mary that Christ fulfilled His dispensation towards us, and she became the Theotokos, the New Eve, and her womb became more spacious than the Heavens.

Tempi Train Collision Press Release
Written By: Telemachos
Two years ago today, on February 28, 2023, Greece was shaken by the devastating train collision near Tempi, taking 57 precious lives, many of them young students. This tragedy was not just a deadly accident — it was a direct consequence of a government that has actively neglected its responsibility to protect its citizens, especially the youth. The brutal reality is that many lives were lost because the state allowed its infrastructure to decay, and the truth of what happened — like the horror of 17-year-old girls burning alive and suffocating — was hidden from the public.
Gaza Annexation Proposal An Existential Threat to Orthodox Christians
Written By: KTE Executive Board
On February 4th, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed an American takeover and annexation of the Gaza Strip. This proposal calls for the expulsion of roughly two million Palestinians in Gaza, American administration of the region, the removal of debris from destroyed buildings, controlled detonation of ordinance, and possibly the introduction of new settlements and the demographic replacement of the Palestinian community. The Gaza Strip is home to the third-oldest Greek Orthodox Church in the world, the Church of Saint Porphyrios.
Greece must defend Orthodox Christians from the radical Jihadist advance in Syria
Written By: KTE Executive Board
Over the course of the last week, radical Jihadists have resumed the Civil War in Syria. They have already captured Aleppo and Hama, two cities with a large Greek Orthodox presence in Syria. This group poses a significant threat to Orthodox populations, as they have been armed and aided by Turkey, the United States and Israel, who all seek the destruction of the Assad regime. Their advance south towards Homs will run directly through a group of predominantly Greek villages in the Valley of the Christians.
Official Statement on the 2024 Presidential Election
Written By: Alexandros
Regardless of the 2024 presidential election results, KTE believes that America is plagued by issues far greater than a single election can resolve. The only policy objective that KTE holds in the United States is the promotion of Hellenic identity and Orthodox religious spirituality within its borders. We are not convinced that a Trump victory necessarily supports or opposes our goals for the Hellenic Diaspora. We urge President-elect Donald Trump to take decisive action regarding the illegal occupation of Cyprus, and we hope the policy of domestic and military support for the Hellenic Republic continues.

We believe that all patriotic parties are engaged in a struggle to revive Greece and the Hellenic spirit. We look forward to seeing what these parties will bring to the European Parliament and how they can advocate on behalf of our great nation. As the diaspora, we believe that our representation in Greece and the European Parliament is the key to our eventual unification with our homeland and our people.
