Είναι ημέρα αργίας;
Επίσημη αργία σε όλη τη χώρα (Κύπρος): οι περισσότεροι εργαζόμενοι έχουν ρεπό.
Το 2033 πέφτει ημέρα: Παρασκευή, 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 beginning of the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman rule in 1821. In the traditional account, Archbishop 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 over the previous weeks, and that the date has a symbolic character. The anniversary is celebrated by the Greek diaspora around the world too. It is one of the two main national holidays of Greece along with Ohi Day.
The date was chosen in part because it is 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, and so the national and religious feast coincide. It is a major national holiday with school ceremonies, student parades and military parades, and the traditional meal is salt cod, with garlic sauce called skordalia. Children recite poems and wear traditional costumes at school ceremonies, and the flag is displayed everywhere. Local schools prepare for it for weeks.
