Greek Independence Day

Greek Independence Day is celebrated every year on March 25. It is a special day because it coincides with the Feast of Annunciation celebrated by the Greek Orthodox Church – and the Blessed Virgin Mary is also the patron saint of the Greek armed forces.

March 25 is Greek Independence Day, commemorating the start of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire in 1821. On this day in Greece, you can see traditional parades and folklore festivals not only in the Greek capital Athens, but all over the country. The Greek Embassy in Warsaw held a reception to celebrate this special day for Greeks.

The ceremony, held at the PAROS Greek restaurant in Warsaw, was attended by senior officials of the Republic of Poland, ambassadors and charge d’affaires from friendly embassies, Greek cultural and business representatives, and embassy staff. Special guests were Andrzej Szejna, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and H.E. Most Reverend Jerzy, Orthodox Archbishop of Wroclaw and Szczecin, Orthodox Military Ordinary.

H.E. Ambassador of Greece Niki Kamba welcomed the guests, and said, I am very pleased that we are meeting today to celebrate the anniversary of the glorious revolution of 1821 and the anniversary of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These events are an opportunity to come together, to remember the struggles, but also to celebrate the present day and the successes of Greece, a modern, advanced, strong, democratic and peaceful country with a strong international presence.

Later in her speech, the Ambassador highlighted Greece’s economic achievements. It is noteworthy that after 13 years, Greece has regained its investment status, as assessed by global rating agencies. The credit rating upgrade is a significant achievement and a transformational milestone for Greece, and can have many positive outcomes for the country’s economic growth and overall prosperity. Businesses can achieve greater profitability, resilience and stability, widening the range of potential investors, both foreign and domestic. Greek companies and entrepreneurs have strong links with Poland in sectors such as food, construction, energy, raw materials and agriculture.
