The Pancretan Association of America Fraternity of Detroit "Pseloretes," the Cretan Ladies Society "Kriti," and the "Levendoyenna" Youth of Detroit invite you to commemorate two significant events in Cretan history on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 10:00 AM:
- The Heroes of the Holocaust of Arkadi (November 8, 1866)
- The 200th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of the Four New Martyrs of Rethymno (October 28, 1824)
We will also honor the memory of all deceased past members of our community. If you would like to include the names of your family members who have passed, please send a list to
Brief History:
The Four New Martyrs of Rethymno — Aggelis, Manouil, Georgios, and Nikolaos — were farmers and married men with children who lived as Crypto-Christians, outwardly adopting Turkish identity while secretly remaining faithful to the Orthodox Church. During the Greek War of Independence (1821–1824), they were captured and beheaded on October 28, 1824, for their resistance to Ottoman rule. They were buried at the Monastery of Saint Constantine, Arkadi.
The Holocaust of Arkadi (November 1866) occurred during the Cretan revolt against Ottoman rule. The Arkadi Monastery, serving as the rebel headquarters, was besieged by a large Ottoman force. Over 700 women and children, along with 259 defenders, took refuge there. When the Ottomans broke through, rebel Kostis Giaboudakis ignited the monastery's gunpowder storage, resulting in the death of most inside. This act of resistance shocked Europe and North America, further undermining Ottoman legitimacy.

Κρουσώνας
Στα Χναρια του Καπεταν Σατανα
War is not a fairy-tale. History is not always epic. It is interwoven with people's precious microhistories of everyday life which lead to great events. Kroussonas, a village on the eastern slopes of Mount Psiloritis in Crete, They did not hesitate to fight guided by their conscience. Who were these ardent souls of the Second World War, who left their mark on their homeland by resisting the enemy? Who was Kapetan Satanas, and how did his burning desire for freedom lead him to fight demons?
Join us for a unique experience marking the dramatic events of the Battle of Crete.

Asia Minor, also referred to as Anatolia, is a region in which the Greeks have lived and advanced their culture, religion, politics, art and ideas since the second millennium BCE. However, today, this area is often overlooked as an important place of Hellenic heritage and history.
This presentation will be a brief retrospective on the important stages of Hellenism in Asia Minor, with main emphasis on the uprooting of the Anatolian Greeks from that area after the catastrophe of 1922 and its disastrous aftermath.

Who doesn't love a picnic with Arni, Pilafi, Hand Tossed pasta salad, and kontosouvli... We got beer, wine, pop, water and enough food and drink to make you burst... Toilets are avialable free if you really have to burst, but the really important thing is this only happens every other year. Plan on attending and staying the night for a great Glendi at the local Greek Restaurant.
Why should you go?
1. Your Cretan

3. Softball is fun
4. Arni is tasty
5. You love Chicago Cretans and they love you
6. You really don't have anything better to do, by definition.

Join us for an inspirational event on November 13th 2011, where the Detroit Cretans commemerate those who sacrificed their lives for their ancestors. The event will start off at St John's Greek Orthodox Church, during normal church services. Following the church service, we will also sponsor coffee hour after service. Members are requested to also attend church service at St John's of Sterling Heights, MI on this day.
FYI:This event caused strong reactions among the liberal circles of western Europe, the "Holocaust of Arkadi". The event occurred in November 1866, as a large Ottoman force besieged the Arkadi Monastery, which served as the headquarters of the rebellion. In addition to its 259 defenders, over 700 women and children had taken refuge in the monastery. After a few days of hard fighting, the Ottomans broke into the monastery. At that point, the abbot of the monastery set fire to the gunpowder stored in the monastery's vaults, causing the death of most of the rebels and the women and children sheltered there. As reported by the American writer and consul William Stillman and others over the recently introduced telegraph, this event caused enormous shock in the rest of Europe and in North America and decreased the perceived legitimacy of Turkish rule.
