On the first day of the New Year, many Greek homes welcome the year ahead by breaking open a pomegranate for good luck. This beautiful ritual is believed to bring health, prosperity, and abundance to the household. It is also common in Greece to exchange pomegranates (ρόδι), often made of metal, glass, or ceramic, as New Year’s gifts. These symbolic objects are known as γούρια; charms meant to bring good fortune for the year to come.
Learning Greek wishes for celebrations and social occasions is always fun. If you have ever participated in a Greek Easter celebration, wedding, baptism or name day party, you have definitely noticed that there are specific wishes to be used for every occasion. Our students practice those wishes very regularly, not only during a course in Greece, but also after their course. Since the Omilo-team and students are like a big family, we use wishes such as birthdays, name days, weddings, very often in emails, cards, SMS or on social media.
