A short account
Saint Spyridon was a 4th-century bishop of Trimythous in Cyprus, remembered as a shepherd-bishop. His relics are kept on Corfu, and his feast on 12 December is closely tied to that island.
Customs
Corfu holds processions of his shrine. Elsewhere the day is chiefly a name day for Spyros, Spyridoula and related forms.
Wishes
- Many years, Spyros.
