‘Xenia’ comes from ancient greek dialect, which means, to show love through hospitality. In ancient Greece they believed that honouring kindness and generosity(Xenia) towards strangers and loved ones, was divine duty and was a form of ‘offering’ to the gods. In modern day greek we use the word ‘philoxenia’ which translates to ‘friendship-hospitality’. This is often in the form of feeding people as I truly believe Greeks are the most hospitable people in the world but I may be biased…
