Three Holy Hierarchs
About the holiday
The feast of Saints Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom is the patronal day of Greek education. Since 2020 schools no longer close: lessons take place normally, usually with a two-hour celebration and, in some schools, a church service in the first hours. It is a working day for everyone else.
