Actually it is a double holiday: a national and a religious one: we honour the Declaration of Revolution against the 400-year-Ottoman occupation on 25th March 1821 and we also celebrate the Annunciation from Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she should become the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The revolution of 1821 became a successful War of Independence (1821-1830) which is honoured by all Greeks wherever they are. Celebrations take place all over Greece with the event of the Great Parade in Athens being the climax of this historical day. Our school celebrated this day with performances, poems and more!
