A short account
Saint George is honoured as a great martyr. His fixed date is 23 April. When Easter is late and 23 April falls in Great Lent or on Easter itself, the Greek calendar moves the feast to Easter Monday. Our name-day list follows that transfer.
Customs
It is one of the great spring name days, for Giorgos, Georgia and related forms. Local customs differ. The transfer is why, in some years, the wishes are said in May.
Wishes
- Many years, Giorgos.
