EMMANUEL | Afterfeast of the Nativity of EMMANUEL, our Lord Jesus Christ *) Synaxis of the Holy (PANAGIA) Theotokos *) On Crete the nameday of Emmanuel/Manolis is celebrated December 25, in the rest of the country on December 26 (official feastday in the Greek Orthodox Church) The name Emmanouil/Manolis is derived from the Hebrew word Immanuel (”God is with us”). The name Immanouil was used as the foretold name of Messiah in the Old Testament. The Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the nameday of Manolis and Emmanouel one day after the Western day of Christmas, on the 26th of December. The official explanation for choosing that day is that the name is mentioned by Isaiah and Mathew in their epistles – when Isaiah refers to the birth of the “child” he mentions the name Emmanouel (Immanou el) referring to the God coming to people. Mathew refers to the word Emmanouel and says that the word of the Scripts came true with the birth of Christ, which means that God is now with people. | 26 December / 26 Δεκεμβρίου (>1 nameday) On Crete nameday on December 25 | EMMANUEL (2) (Emmanuel, Emmanouil, Manolis, Manolios, Manolas, Manolis, Manouil, Manuel, Manos, Manousos, Manousakis, Manouisaki) / ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛ (2) (Εμμανουήλ, Μανώλης, Μανωλιός, Μανώλας, Μανόλης, Μανουήλ, Μάνος, Μανούσος, Μανουσάκης, Μανουσάκι)

Amaryllis is not a name included in the Orthodox calendar, therefore has no nameday of its own. However, some websites state, that this name can be celebrated 10 October, which is the nameday of Eulampia. The idea behind this is probably, that the meaning of both names are very similar. «Eulampia» is derived from Greek ευ (eu) meaning "good, well" combined with Greek λάμπω (lampo) meaning "to give light, to shine". |
