Today is Saint George's Day and celebrated by many Christian churches around the world where he is the patron saint. For Eastern Orthodox Churches who use the Julian calendar, April 23 corresponds to May 6 on the Gregorian calendar. Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Churches. Immortalised in the tale of George and the Dragon, he is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and is the patron saint of Aragón, Canada, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, Russia, and Palestine, as well as the cities of Beirut, Ljubljana, Freiburg and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.
This name is very common by all those baptised in the Christian Orthodox Church and celebrated today by Georges and Georgias all over the world. What this basically means is that almost half of the population of the Greek Omogeneia is probably celebrating their name day today!
The family of HELLASFRAPPE is no exception, we have many family members celebrating today!
Because of this we want to dedicate the following song to then and wish each and everyone a very happy Name day.
Xronia Polla kai Kala!
