The Greek Independence Day Parade, April 10th 2005 in New York City. The Greek Warriors marched with Holy Trinity-St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Staten Island. It was a warm and sunny day and a great day for the Greek Parade. Greece fought for independence in both ancient and modern times. The Greek Warriors and Holy Trinity brought back a bit of the glory of ancient Greece for the parade that day. Heading to the start of the parade with Father Nick.
