Dialogue between grandmother Hatzi-Christina and her granddaughter, from the tv series: "Saint Paisios, from Farasa to Heaven"


- Grandma, we have nothing...

– How come we don't have it? We have our honor, we have the Saints, our faith! Are these few?
- Didn't you see, grandma, how we were seen in Piraeus and Keratsini?... They don't want us. Some call us refugees and others Turks.
- My life, my eyes, listen to your grandmother, what she will tell you.... We know who we are and what we did in our country and how Greek we are and how Christian we are, but also how human we are.
We learned from our Fathers to support our neighbor in his need, to share our bread with those who do not have it. No one can change all this for us, if we don't change them, if we don't lose them.
Don't forget this my daughter. What you learned in your homeland, in your home, keep them as you keep the Holy Light. God will take care of everything else….
Don't forget what you carry in your soul. This is the treasure. You will inherit these to your children.
The houses, the parades, the fields, you saw, are lost in a day, but the treasure in our soul is precious and it is up to us to keep it and not let anyone take it from us....
