Today is a great day! Today, we are celebrating a holiday which is both national and religious! 

On this day, Greeks all over the world pay homage to their ancestors, by celebrating the beginning of the Greek revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, this is the day when the feast of the Annunciation of Virgin Mary is held. The day that angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus Christ!

God bless Greece!
