Welcome to Greek LIfestyle!

One of the most important feasts in the Orthodox calendar is celebrated on the 15th of August. It is the celebration of the Dormition (falling asleep) of mother Mary and marks the day that she is reunited with her son in heaven. In Greece this day marks a significant public holiday, with attendances at church services and much festivity.

Those named Panayioti, Panayiata, Mary, Maria and Mario celebrate their name day on this day.

Hronia Polla to you all, and especially to my loving and deeply loved daughter Mary.
