Which Greek name day does the Orthodox church celebrate today?
Today – we celebrate the name day:
According to Greece’s Orthodox tradition, every day of the year is dedicated to some Christian saint or martyr. When someone is named after one of these saints, that saint’s celebration day becomes his/her “name day.” In Greece people celebrate their namedays with gatherings and gifts much like an actual birthday.
