As someone who's mixed, I'm curious to know how you and your family or you and your partner have blended cultures.
Hi, I'm Victoria, and I'm Greek and Korean. It's nice to meet ya! As someone who's mixed, I'm curious to know how you and your family or you and your partner have blended cultures and traditions over the years.I'll start. My dad is Greek Orthodox; my mom grew up without religion. Since my dad preferred to be married in a church, my mom got baptized so they could have a Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony.Yeah, my mom really resonated with Ian Miller.
When it came time to raise me and my sister, they played it by ear. Greek naming tradition dictates naming your first son or daughter after their paternal grandfather or grandmother, respectively. Neither of my parents cared to follow that, so they tweaked the tradition and used my paternal grandmother's name as my middle name.Accordingly, my younger sister's middle name is my maternal grandmother's name.
After we moved, she no longer joined us, but one of my dad's sisters began making me a candle when she'd make them for her godchildren . TBH, I was probably too old to be gifted a candle by that point, and I'm the oldest grandkid, so it wouldn't have been weird to be the only one without a candle. However, I'm also the only one with a non-Greek godmother, so I especially appreciated that it didn't seem like something that just slipped through the cultural cracks.
