First of all, the Homeric luminance. since the, the light of the sun, the light of the moon, the light of the fire, the light of beauty, the light of goodness – visible light. Next, the joyous light of the gospels. since then, the light of the star, the light of the new-born, the light of resurrection, the light of love – uncreated light. Afterwards, Solomos’ light shed by candles. Since then, the light of freedom, the light of language, the light of place – solitary light. Finally, Seferis’ black and angelic light. Since then, the light of memory, the light of our own self and of the other, the light of responsibility – regained light.
Around the festive table, relatives and friends, dear faces lit by the joy, hope and faith of the New Year. Let us raise our glasses, look each other in the eye and drink to Peace on Earth.
