Association of Syracuses of Patras and Western Greece “G. Zalokostas”

For the realization of the goals, they initially relied on the Panepirototic Association of Patras, which had a long and remarkable history, had developed great activities and had established itself in the consciousness of the Epirotians of Patras. In those first years, with great joy and patriotic emotion, the people of Syracuse gathered at the welcoming house of Christos Mantzavinos (Rhodos 49) and there for hours the older people could reminisce and talk and the younger ones could hear about life in Syracuse many, many years ago years, to project images of Syracuse, listen to Syracuse songs and enjoy the rich dishes of the good-natured lady Efthymia. Over the years and since the presidency of the Association passed for about three decades in the firm hands of a genuine and tireless patriot, the current Honorary President Manolis Maglara, the Association has always been in cooperation with the Pan-Epironic Association of Patras, which he directed during for seven (7) consecutive three years, our President himself, and certainly hand in hand with the Syracuse Community and the other Associations of Syracuses, has marked a brilliant course by largely realizing his visions and goals. But the most important contribution of the Association was that it identified and rallied Syracuses of the second and third, but also much older generations, patriots who had almost forgotten their origin, he was able to rekindle the Syracian flame that was about to go out, and he also organized a “pilgrimage” excursion to Syracuse, so that the younger people could get to know the birthplace of their parents and the place of their own origin. Today more than ever with the feeling of heavy responsibility towards the glory and greatness of Syracuse’s history, at a time when everything has been globalized and flattened, faithful to our picturesque customs and traditions, our dances, songs and traditions, is imperative need to fight for the preservation of the tradition of our country, as a minimal debt to the previous generations who left us this rich cultural heritage and to bequeath it intact and intact to the next generations of Syracuse of the wider area of ​​Western Greece. The President of the Association is George Mantzavinos.
