[Mark17]

Since I didn’t know, I asked my friend how to say Greece 🇬🇷 in Greek. He says Ellatha. Of course he had to write it in English letters, since I don’t recognize Greek letters. Maybe you already knew that. And Thessalonica is actually Thessalonikii. Of course, once again, he had to write it in English letters, so I could read it.
But, he knows what thou art Peter means. He knows about Mary and Joseph’s children, and he does not believe Jesus gave Mary to the world, only John. Though we don’t know for sure, because scripture does not say anything, but it’s possible, that later, after the brothers and sisters of Jesus, actually took care of Mary, but we don’t know for sure. 😁

...I don’t recognize Greek letters.

(Looks like FR doesn't either...)

“The names were changed to protect the innocent”

Modern Greece and Greek differ from ancient Greece and Greek.

The ancient and modern name of the country is Hellas or Hellada (Greek: Ελλάς, Ελλάδα;

"It turns out that both "Greece" and "Hellas" have Greek roots, but "Greece" was adopted by the Romans (as the Latin word "Graecus"), and later adopted into English, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The OED says Aristotle uses "Graiko" as the name for the first inhabitants of the region.
