FILOXENIA OR XENOPHOBIA?

Filoxenia is a Greek word which means hospitality. Xenophobia is another Greek word which means being afraid of strangers. Nowadays, it is more urgent than ever before, for all European countries to be "filoxenous" rather than xenophobic towards the millions of refugees and immigrants that are coming to our continent with the dream of a better life.

What are the traditions and customs? Do we need to enhance them?
