• OXI (pronounced "Ohi", which means "No") Day: Protection of the Blessed Mother according to Greek custom, especially commemoration Greek resistance to the Axis powers and freedom from the fascist Italian and German occupation (1940)
While most of the Orthodox Christian world celebrates the Holy Protection, or Agia Skepi, of the Theotokos on October 1st according to ancient custom, Greeks celebrate the Holy Protection on October 28th as a special holiday in order to invite the secular government of Greece to honor the Theotokos for her special protection over the Greek people during World War 2. The celebration of the Holy Protection dates back to 626 A.D., when the miraculous intervention of the Theotokos saved Constantinople from the Avars (Turkish-Mongolian Nomads), and it was officially established that October 1st be the date to honor this miracle. All Orthodox Christians celebrated this feast on October 1st until the 21st of October 1952 when the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece decreed (Συνοδικές Εγκύκλιοι, Τόμος Β', Αθήνα 1956, σελ. 649) that from henceforth there was to be celebrated in Greece a dual feast of the Holy Protection and the national holiday of "OXI" (pronounced "Ohi", which means "No), which commemorates Greek resistance to the Axis powers and freedom from the Italian and German occupation, on October 28th. A Service was specially written by Elder Gerasimos Mikragiannanites for this feast on October 28th.
• Synaxis of the Shrine of Panagia ELEFTHEROTRIA ("Our Lady of Deliverance") of Athens, Greece
• Synaxis of the Church of Panagia ELEFTHEROTRIA ("Our Lady of Deliverance") to commemorate liberation in 1920 of Didymoteicho in Western Thrace, Greece
Western Thrace, or simply Thrace, is a geographic and historical region of Greece, located between the Nestos and Evros rivers in the northeast of the country. The region had been under the rule of the Roman Empire until the Ottoman Empire conquered most of the region in the 14th century and ruled it till the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913. During the First Balkan War, the Balkan League (Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria and Montenegro) fought against the Ottoman Empire and annexed most of its European territory, including Thrace. Western Thrace was occupied by Bulgarian troops who defeated the Ottoman army. During the Second Balkan War in August 1913 Bulgaria was defeated, but gained Western Thrace under the terms of the Treaty of Bucharest. In the following years, the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire) (with which Bulgaria had sided) lost World War I and as a result Western Thrace was withdrawn from Bulgaria under the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly. Western Thrace was under temporary management of the Entente (the Allies) led by French General Sharpe. In the second half of April 1920 during the San Remo conference of the prime ministers of the main allies of the Entente powers (except USA), Western Thrace was given to Greece. It officially became part of Greece in May of 1920. Didymoteicho is a town located in Western Thrace, and to commemorate its liberation in 1920, a church was built that bears the name Panagia Eleftherotria (the Liberator). It celebrates its feast on October 28th.

Nearly every image depicts him wearing a medallion with a profile of Jesus, and usually with a small flame above his head.

May that which was foreordained for me by the Providence of God be fulfilled, for He has called me to His light from the depths of ungodliness!”
