CarpathoRusyn? Congratulations, at least out in Western Pennsylvania you know who you are.

Out here in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York State, these same wonderful people call themselves
CarpathoRussian. Since when have the Carpathian Mountains in Stari Krayu been in Russia?

I would imagine your Festival is a smashing success. Best wishes!

While we do have a substantial number of Galiciany (my Dad said that's how the Lesko/Sanok and farther east Rusnaks called themselves) here in West PA, most of us here are the "Magyar-Orosz" variety. wink

Dobryj Den'!

Such a question? What's a Greek-Catholic festival with no food?

Dear Ung-Certez:

A few years back, at the local Byzantine Catholic Church summer picnic, the menu included "Byzantine pyrohy".

It clearly pointed out how uninformed so many "Byzantine" parishioners are about their ancestry.

Got a good laugh and we Ukrainians won't let them forget it.

Hope your Festival is a big success. Too bad we're not closer, we'd certainly be there.

Smachnoho! Bon Appetit!

Sincerely, Pavloosh

Ah yes, ask someone now in the Byzantine Catholic Chuch what their ethnicity is and they say "Byzantine" as if they are the ancient inhabitants of the city of Byzantium! :rolleyes:
