reileenFrom Yahoo!News: Modern pagans honor Zeus in Athens
The group that organized this ritual, Ellinais, apparently has already "won a court battle for state recognition of the ancient Greek religion and is demanding the government register its offices as a place of worship, a move that could allow the group to perform weddings and other rites." I would be very interested in seeing a Hellenic Pagan wedding ritual. I wouldn't doubt that it's been done before, but to see it gain this type of attention would be something that I'd like to follow.
