27 October - Greece Flag Day
The official national flag of Greece is only a few decades old! Incredibly, the Greek flag that we all know today, was only officially adopted οn December 22 1978. According to one theory, the nine horizontal stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase “Freedom or death” (Ε-ΛΕΥ-ΘΕ-ΡΙΑ Η ΘΑ-ΝΑ-ΤΟΣ).
Greek Flag Day, also known as Greek National Day, which is celebrated each year on October 27th, is a chance to celebrate the flag and feelings of pride about what it means to be Greek.
Greece, a country without a lot of resources, stood up to the Axis Powers and nearly won. For the first time, the Allies realized they really did stand a chance to win World War II, and Greece was the catalyst for it. Oxi Day is a time to remember this, and it takes place ever year on October 28th.
