Name saint or event: | Description: (names in capital letters: nameday) | Celebrated on: | People with one of these names celebrate their nameday today: |
FOTA | The THEOPHANY (EPIPHANY) of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ *) *) Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the JORDAN river. During the time of the Heavenly (OURANIA) Baptism, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove (PERISTERA) came down from heaven on Jesus, and God spoke. This day is called the day of “THEOPHANY” (the day that God appeared), because the voice of God was heard on earth. It is also called Epiphany and the Day of Lights (PHOTA / i Imera ton FOTON). | 6 January / 6 Ιανουαρίου (>1 nameday) | FAIDON *) (Faidon, Fedon, Phaedon, Phaidon, Phaedo, ) / ΦΑΙΔΟΝ *) (Φαίδων) *) According to some, the origin of the Greek name Faidon/Phaedon is uncertain, yet according to others, the name derives from the theme of the ancient Greek adjective φαιδρός (faidros), originally meaning "λαμπερός, φωτεινός" (glowing, bright). So etymologically, according to this theory, it can be celebrated on the Feast of Theophany
