​Most of us have seen movies about "Robin Hood" or read relevant books about the hero of the poor, but few of us know that Robin of Lockley was an Orthodox Christian who actually died because of his faith. 

He who brought to light the true story of Robin Hood was the Greek-American Orthodox Priest, Fr. John Romanidis († 2001), a graduate of Yale University and later a professor at the Theological Schools of Harvard, Athens, Thessaloniki and Boston's Holy Cross.

Late Fr. John, revealed that Robin was an Orthodox rebel who, along with his close friend "Little John", fought against the Franco-Norman invaders at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD.

Yelena Popovic's long-awaited film about the life of Saint Nektarios, "Man of God", created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Saint's rest, is expected on theaters immediately after the restrictive measures allow its international distribution through Pinnacle Peak Pictures.

For our “Beyond the World War II We Know,” documenting lesser-known stories from the war, and to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the war, we asked the actor Tom Hanks to write about the complicated narrative of the conflict — and its aftermath.

In the spring of 1939 — “Before the War,” as folks of that generation would say — the New York World’s Fair began a gloriously naïve celebration of “Mankind’s Progress” and visions of America’s future. President Franklin D. Roosevelt opened the fair in a ceremony that was, no lie, broadcast on television. In fact, there were early versions of TVs on display at the fair, along with state-of-the-art railroad trains, airplanes, ocean liners, Crosley radios, a giant typewriter and the new Ford sedans fairgoers could drive themselves on the “Road of Tomorrow” — an upbeat adieu! to the Great Depression, to what was the first act of many American lives.
