This is the one and only Kuria Zoe, my Yiayia, the matriarch of our family. I was blessed to have the most amazing Yiayia in the world. Not only was she my Yiayia, she was everyones Yiayia. Young or old, Greek or American, people flocked to her for blessings, guidance , and words of wisdom. She was always able to give encouragement and hope with her kind words, strong beliefs, and delicious food. She is seen in this photo preparing her prosforo (holy bread), which she baked each and every Saturday, in preparation for Holy Communion on Sunday. My yiayia was a pillar at the Cathedral of Saint George in Philadelphia. In addition to serving her church, Kuria Zoe was known for her dedication and devotion to those in need spiritually,emotionally, and economically.She was everyones guardian angel, and still is. I am blessed to have had her in my life, and I am honored to call her yiayia!
