SYMEON the God-Receiver | The Synaxis of the Holy and Righteous SYMEON *) the God-Receiver and the Holy Prophetess Anna *) Together with the nameday of Simeon, also the nameday of ASIMINA / ASIMAKIS is celebrated on February 3rd. However, there is a huge controversy behind the inclusion of the name Asimina in the Greek Orthodox Calendar. There is no Saint, martyr or Blessed person carrying the names Asimina or Asimakis. The name Asimina refers to the name Argyri, because the words asimi and argyros mean the same thing in Greek: silver. Therefore, the name Asimina is celebrated on April 30th, the day of St Argyri. For some years, especially during the 60s, if a Greek family wanted to baptize a child Asimina or Asimakis, the priest would give 2 names to the child: the one chosen by the parents and the name Simeon, as a “translation” of the names Asimina and Asimakis (although no actual relation there). This is why the nameday of Asimina is celebrated on February 3rd, the day of St Simeon. | 3 February / 3 Φεβρουαρίου (>1 nameday) | SΥMEON (1) (Symeon, Simeon, Symeones, Symeonis, Symos, ΣΥΜΕΩΝ (1) (Συμεών, Συμεώνης, Σύμος, Συμεωνή, Συμεωνία, Συμεώνα, Σύμη) |
