                          About Public Holidays in Greece

                          Greece's Ochi Day (October 28) commemorates the 1940 rejection of an Italian ultimatum to allow Axis troops passage, with "Ochi" ("No") becoming a rallying national word - marked with military and school parades rather than religious observance. Orthodox Easter, calculated on the Julian calendar, usually falls later than Western Easter and is widely considered the most important holiday of the year, exceeding Christmas in most households' traditions.
