Hundreds of people attended the 29th annual Alaska Greek Festival, a three-day event originally started as a fundraiser, to “build a proper Byzantine Orthodox-style church,” said Father Vasili Hillhouse.
“We also are doing this because the community of Anchorage loves it and supports it so well. It’s a beautiful gathering of various ethnic groups having a wonderful time celebrating Greek culture, eating Greek food and learning a little bit about the Orthodox faith,”
