Alle
Helgeners Dag
blir feiret den 8nd søndag etter påsken, i
2008 22. juni. Dagen da alle de som ikke har noen navnedag feirer sin navnedag,
og hvor mai kransene blir tradisjonelt brendt.

Fredag kjørte jeg forbi den
lille kirken ved Aloupi, rett etter byens kirkegård og der var
det full rengjøring for søndag skal det feires der. Se hvor hvit
og fin den lille vakre
kirken er!

"All
Saint's Day
celebrated on the 8th Sunday
following Easter, in 2008 on the 22nd of June. The day on which everyone who does not have a saint's
name celebrates his Name Day, and when the May Day wreaths are
traditionally burnt."
That was copied from Tom Stones Greek Handbook, Lycabettus press
Friday I drove past the small
church of Aloupi, just after the towns cemetery and there were
women cleaning for on Sunday they will celebrate there.

All Saints' Day, All
Hallows, Hallowmas is a feast celebrated on November 1st
in Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in
Eastern Christianity in honour of all the saints, known and unknown.
In terms of Roman Catholic theology, the feast commemorates all
those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven, while the
next day, All Souls`Day, commemorates the departed faithful who have
not yet been purified and reached heaven.
Among Eastern Orthodox and
Eastern Catholics, All Saints Sunday
(Greek:
Αγίων Πάντων,
Agiōn Pantōn), follows the ancient tradition of
commemorating all saints collectively on the first Sunday after
Pentecost.
