name day..

hey!i need help about 'name day' celebration...i heard name days change every year according to 'easter'.is it true?if so when will 'giorgos' named people celebrate their day this year? : )pls help me about it,thnx!

23rd of April.

Saints' celebrations are fixed holidays. There are other religious holidays that change every year according to when Easter is but the days of celebrating variuos saints have fixed dates.

Dya is right, they never change. My nameday, for instance, is on March 1st - St. Evdokia.

Although the previous members were right in saying that in general namedays are on fixed days of the year, there is a handful of saints whose memory is celebrated on different days every year depending on the date of the Easter. For example, as panselinos said st Evdokia's is always celebrated on March the first, but St Theodore's changes every year depending on the Easter. It is a bit confusing My dad's nameday changes every year and I never know when to wish him happy nameday

Geia sou!

I'm back!!! :P Is there a day for my name? Cristina or Xristina..hihi

Christmas

Yeah..maybe..

Look what I found..Enjoy!

uhm well but it says ' Those with a star (*) change every year' at site and 'giorgos' has it..ouw:/

Agios Georgios, i.e. St George's Day is always celebrated on April 23rd.
St. George is the patron saint of both the Greek and Bulgarian armies.
Although in Bulgaria it takes place on May 6th, and it's a public holiday.
Military parades, lamb meat, etc. lol

so i ll celebrate my friend's name day on this day,ok...: )
