What's in a Name (Day)?

According to Greek Orthodox tradition, every day of the year is dedicated as the feast day of a Christian saint or martyr. Your "Name Day" celebration () is the feast day of the saint you are named after. In Greece, a person's Name Day is celebrated and is considered more important than a Birthday.

• Zoe's name day is always the first Friday after Easter. Incidentally, this is the only Friday on which the church advises meat eating!

• On a name day, the traditional greeting is (HRO-nyah poh-LAH), which means "many years."
