On February 16, 2018, begins the celebration of the Spring Festival, which marks the arrival of the New Year in China on the next day, based on the Lunar Calendar. This particular celebration is a very family celebration and the occasion for the whole family to gather around the table. The celebrations last for 15 days and end with the Lantern Festival on March 2, 2018. On this occasion, Mr. Stavridis Iordanis, General Director of EPOS, addressed a brief greeting to all friends of Chinese Culture in Greece.

It is my special honor and privilege, as General Director of the Greek Shaolin Cultural Organization, to address for one more year this short festive greeting to all Shaolin male and female students, masters, parents and friends of Shaolin in Greece, on the occasion of the celebration of the Spring Festival of 2018.

This year for the Chinese, is 2561 and is the Year of the Earth Dog. The Chinese Year of the Dog, after the enormous challenges of the past two years, is expected to be far less dramatic for all of us. This year will foster co-operation and faith and help to accomplish all the goals that have been set by method, hard work and patience.

I hope that those who are committed to EPOS educational activity, will continue to offer their services in a climate of warm communication and cooperation, building trust relationships in the large family called Greek Shaolin.

Believing that Shaolin Training Associates with the Greek Shaolin Cultural Organization, with the true values they cultivate, can contribute to the creation of a better world, I wholeheartedly wish everybody every success in our multifaceted work for the benefit of our students.

The new year will be much better!

My warmest wishes !!!
Stavridis Jordan [Shi Yan Zhuo]
EPOS General Director
