On December 6, Orthodox Greece celebrates St. Nicholas Day.
Saint Nicholas is one of the most revered Christian saints, the patron saint of sailors and travelers, farmers, disciples, prisoners, and unjustly convicted. The saint is the embodiment of mercy and philanthropy, care and protection of the weak.
As the patron saint of sailors, he is, first of all, famous in Hellas!
On this day, many processions can be observed throughout the country, going to the sea, while both languid prayers and joyful voices of people can be heard.
