John Yotis March 23, 1956 - December 24, 2025 We light the Koleda fires as our elders did — to mark the turning of the sun, to keep the darkness away, and to welcome the slow return of the light. May it warm every house and every heart. In the way of our Western Macedonian villages, we light the Koleda fire — for protection, for renewal, and for the promise that the light is already on its way back.
