Welcome to Santorini and
Greek Names and when we Celebrating our manedays!
Celebrating name days. In
Santorini and Greece it's a custom to specially
celebrate your (holy) name day instead of your
birthday.
So, if your name is Nikos, most
Nikos are celebrating on
December 6, and not on their
birthday.
According to the
Orthodox Church, every day of the year has been dedicated to the memory of
a Saint or a martyr from the Holy Bible and Holy Tradition. This day
carries the name of the Saint and it's called "name day." If someone is
named after a Saint, then there is a big celebration on his/her name day.
In Greece, namedays are usually more important than birthdays. Gifts are
given, festive meals and desserts are prepared, and special preparations
are made for an open house. Usually, namedays are on the same date, every
year. These are the non-floating namedays. There are some "floating"
namedays though, that every year are on a different date.
Those who are not
named after a saint have a party on All Saints' Day, 8
weeks after
Easter.
