In a heartwarming display of national pride and traditional belief, a Greek grandmother, known affectionately as 'Grandma Eleni,' has captured the attention of social media users for her unique method of supporting the national basketball team during the recent EuroBasket tournament. A video uploaded by user 'ftouftou_' shows Eleni intensely watching a game on television, performing a traditional ritual believed to ward off the evil eye. With focused gestures and murmured prayers, Eleni is seen actively engaging in the ancient practice, aiming to protect the Greek players from misfortune and bring them success on the court. Her actions, a blend of fervent sports fandom and deep-rooted cultural superstition, highlight the strong connection between Greeks and their national teams, often accompanied by personal rituals and collective hopes. The video, which quickly went viral, resonated with many who recognized the familiar sight of an elder's protective rituals. While the direct impact of Eleni's efforts on the game's outcome remains a matter of faith, her dedication provides a touching glimpse into the emotional investment and cultural practices that surround major sporting events in Greece. The footage serves as a reminder of how personal traditions can intertwine with public events, creating memorable and endearing moments for a nation of passionate supporters.
