Please also continue to join with us in prayer for peace and for an end
to all hostility in the Middle East and throughout the world. We
believe that ALL people—American, Iraqi, Palestinian, Israeli—Jew,
Christian, Muslim, whatever—soldier and civilian—have the right to life,
peace and security. Peace and love are at the heart of Christ's message. In
the interest of promoting peace and cooperation, we extend this invitation
to Jews, Muslims, Christians and peace-loving people of all faiths to join
together in the festivities. As we break bread together, hold hands in a
dance circle and spend time with one another, we can show the world what is
possible!

St. George parish, sponsor of the Annual Middle Eastern Festival of
Indianapolis, was founded by Orthodox Christian immigrants from Syria and
Lebanon who settled in central Indiana in the early 1900s.
While our parish has grown and now includes members of all backgrounds, it
is in honor of our founders that we maintain their Middle Eastern spirit of
generous hospitality and offer the Middle Eastern Festival to the greater
Indianapolis community to help promote peace and understanding for ALL, starting
here in our own city.
The Indianapolis Middle Eastern Festival is a member of the Indiana State Festivals Association.

Through
the Festival you also help us provide Breast Cancer Screening for
Indianapolis-area uninsured women through the Jeff George Foundation, as
we dedicate 10% of net proceeds to this cause.
