The National Day of Greece, also known as Greek Independence Day, holds immense significance for the Greek people. It commemorates the nation’s declaration of independence from the Ottoman Empire on March 25, 1821.
In recent times, Greek Independence Day has become intertwined with a significant religious holiday in Greece, known as The Feast of Annunciation.
