Description
Agia Irene – Eirini Gold Leaf Ceramic Resin Cross
The lives of the saints are important to Orthodox Christians throughout the world. As a result of this, their feast days are celebrated each year. When someone is named after one of these saints, they celebrate their name day on the saint’s feast day. In some countries, such as Greece, people often celebrate their name days instead of their birthdays!
However, it isn’t enough to just know when the name day is. It is a good idea to know a little bit of the lives of the saints, as well.
Saint Irene, also known as Irene of Thessaloniki, is one of these saints. Her feast day is on May 5th of each year
