Dear Friends,

Welcome to GreekFest 2016! We of Holy Trinity Church are thrilled to have you join us for our annual celebration, enabling us to share our beautiful Greek culture and our ancient Orthodox Christian Faith. This is a touch of Greece while remaining in Carmel, Indiana!

Marika Bagios leads our great team of volunteers who are eager to make your visit with us fun and memorable! This taste of Greece can be enjoyed with our delicious food, happy music, and Greek Dancers.

Please include a tour of our beautiful Church with the magnificent iconography which is so unique to the Orthodox Church. The icons enhance the splendor of our Church, teach us Scripture, provide an example for us to emulate in our own life, and serves a means for us to worship the Lord God.

The Orthodox Christian Church depicts the three persons of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) with the three individuals who visit Abraham at the Oak of Memre (Genesis 18). The large icon depicts the hospitality of Abraham to these three individuals. As Orthodox Christians of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, we seek to emulate this hospitality, welcome you, celebrate our Christian hospitality, and thank you for your joining us.

May God bless you and your loved ones,

Father William J. BartzPresiding PriestHoly Trinity Church

Dear GreekFest Friends,

Greeks embrace a long-standing tradition of family, friends and community celebrations. As one of our 15,000+ guests, we welcome

your family to ours in this 43rd year of sharing our Orthodox faith and Hellenic culture.

As family, we ask you to enjoy the food, music, dance and hospitality of our festival by strolling through the Food Court and Bakery, treating yourself to authentic Greek food and pastries, shopping the Grecian Grocery and Marketplace for those one-of-a-kind treasures, or swinging by the Beer and Wine tent to sip the varieties of Grecian Wines and local craft beers. Should you relish what you sample, catch a cooking demonstration to learn how to make exquisite Greek delicacies at home.

After your culinary journey, take a tour of our beautiful Church with her hand painted iconography and newly installed tile floors.

For the younger family members, we have added “Bounce House City” to the puppet show and various children’s activities available in the Children’s Tent.

GreekFest 2016 is hosted by the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church parishioners who dedicate their time and talents throughout the year to present what has become one of Central Indiana’s favorite food and cultural events. Without these hard working volunteers, there is no GreekFest.

A special thanks to the festival co-chairs, Mike Hendricks, Anthony Filis and Steve Young, the individual booth chairs, our numerous volunteers, all the local sponsors and partners and our entire Parish family for their dedication and support.

Eat, Drink, Dance, Enjoy being Greek for a day and mark your calendars for GreekFest 2017 on August 25-27.

Thank you for coming and welcome to our home!

Throughout the ages, the Greek Orthodox Christian Church has maintained a continuity of faith and love with the Apostolic community which was founded by Jesus Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit. Orthodox Christianity offers a fullness of the Faith that is characterized in an air of antiquity and timelessness.

God is the source of faith in the Orthodox Church. Orthodox Christianity believes that God has revealed Himself to us humans, most especially in the revelation of Jesus Christ, Whom we know as the Son of God. This Revelation of God, of His love, and of His purpose is constantly made manifest and contemporary in the life of the Church.

We offer you an opportunity to learn more about our Church during your visit to our Festival. Participate in a scheduled tour which will be offered throughout the day.

The Greek Orthodox Church is the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church of Christ that was founded by His Apostles on the original Sunday of Pentecost in approximately 33 A.D. For almost 2000 years the Church has observed the Canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and Holy Tradition of the Christian Faith. We are a Trinitarian Church centered on the seven sacraments of Baptism, Chrismation (Confirmation), The Holy Eucharist, Confession, Holy Unction, Marriage and Ordination. Our priesthood is based on Apostolic Succession. The Virgin Mary (Theotokos) and the Saints are venerated — not worshipped — as part of the Church Triumphant and we ask for their prayers and intercessions before Christ’s Throne.

Next to Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodoxy is the second largest Christian Church in the world — encompassing four of the five ancient Christian Churches of Constantinople, Alexandria (Egypt), Antioch (Syria) & Jerusalem. Orthodoxy was originally found in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Today Orthodoxy has a worldwide reach, with national Churches located on every continent and in almost every nation.

Leader of Orthodoxy — “first amongst equals” among Orthodox leaders — is Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. Orthodoxy throughout the world shares in the same dogma, traditions and worship. However, the Church in every nation is autonomous in such local matters as finances, language, administration, schools & philanthropy.

Holy Trinity of Indianapolis was founded in 1910. For many years the congregation worshipped on West Street at the current site of the Indiana Historical Society. It moved to 40th & Pennsylvania Street in 1960 and added on its Cultural Center and classrooms in 1982.

In 1998, due to continued growth and the northward migration of its flock, Holy Trinity purchased 20 acres at 106th and Shelborne Road in Carmel. In 2007, construction began on Holy Trinity’s new church and facilities. On Christmas Eve, 2008, Holy Trinity parishioners began worshipping in their new church.
