A gift for every name

Χρόνια πολλά

The Hall of Names

Across the Orthodox world people celebrate the saint whose name they carry, often more than their birthday. The phone rings, the door stays open, and everyone says the same two words: many years.

A day, not a date

Everyone named George shares 23 April, wherever they live. The whole family celebrates together.

An open door

Friends call or drop by without an invitation. Sweets are offered, and the greeting is always Χρόνια πολλά.

The saint as a gift

An icon of the patron saint is the present that stays on the wall long after the sweets are gone.

With your words

Their saint, your dedication

Add a written dedication on any icon page, and a gift bag if you are giving it by hand. Can’t find the name? Look through every saint in the gallery, or have one painted.

Example dedication

Χρόνια πολλά, Γιώργο

May Saint George keep you on every road.

With love, Maria · 23 April
