The 25th of March is a day with multiple significance, celebrated in Greece with grandeur for more than a century:
• It is one of the biggest religious holidays for the Greek Orthodox Church, as, on this day, we celebrate the Annunciation, “Evangelismos tis Theotokou” in Greek. Many Greeks are given the name Evangelos (male) or Evangelia (female) after the Annunciation. Since it is accustomed in Greece, the grandchildren to be named after their grandparents and the name day is considered as important or even, more important than the birthday, huge celebrations take place on the 25th of March in many families!
• The 25th of March was chosen by the Greeks in 1821, as the day to begin the uprising against the Ottoman Empire, under the rule of which they lived for 400 years, thus, starting the Greek War of Independence.
