Είναι ημέρα αργίας;
Επίσημη αργία σε όλη τη χώρα (Κύπρος): οι περισσότεροι εργαζόμενοι έχουν ρεπό.
Το 2032 πέφτει ημέρα: Πέμπτη, δηλαδή εργάσιμη ημέρα.
Σταθερή ημερομηνία: πέφτει την ίδια ημέρα του έτους κάθε χρόνο (25 Μαρ).
Σάββατο και Κυριακή · Μια επίσημη αργία δεν κλείνει πάντα όλες τις επιχειρήσεις. Οι βασικές υπηρεσίες, τα καταστήματα και ορισμένοι κλάδοι συνεχίζουν να λειτουργούν, και οι κανόνες αμοιβής διαφέρουν ανά χώρα και σύμβαση.
Greek Independence Day
Greek Independence Day, observed on 25 March in Greece and Cyprus, commemorates the start of the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman rule in 1821. In the traditional account, Bishop Germanos of Patras raised the banner of revolt at the monastery of Agia Lavra on that day, although historians note that the uprising began in several places in the weeks before and that the date has a symbolic character. The anniversary is also celebrated by the Greek diaspora. It is one of the two main national holidays of Greece, with Ohi Day.
25 March is also the feast of the Annunciation, the day on which, according to the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel told Mary that she would bear Jesus, so a national and a religious holiday coincide. Schools hold ceremonies with poems and songs, students march in local parades in folk costume, and in Athens there is a military parade after a wreath-laying at Syntagma Square. The traditional meal is fried salt cod with skordalia, a garlic sauce, since fish is permitted in the Orthodox Lenten fast on the Annunciation.
