Orthodox Observer - April 5, 1997 Festive marchers
(D. Panagos photo) New York's annual Greek Inde- pendence Day Parade attracted thousands of marchers and spectators on a sunny, but cold and windy March 23. | Among the dignitaries was Archbishop Spyridon who remained in his seat on the reviewing stand for the entire event which lasted more than 3 1/2 hours. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani joined His Eminence for the initial part of the parade. More than 50 communities from the Greater New York area were represented, as well as dozens of ethnic organizations and clubs. The parade is one of the oldest ethnic parades in the city, dating from the early years of this century. [ Orthodox Observer - Vol. 62, No. 1126 - April 5, 1997 - p. 1 ]
