Panagia Agia Skepi / Protection Veil of the Theotokos

The celebration of the Holy Protection dates back to 626 A.D. when the miraculous intervention of the Theotokos saved the city of Constantinople from the Avars (Turkish-Mongolian Nomads), and it was officially established that October 1st be the date to honour this great miracle.

All Orthodox Christians celebrate this feast on October 1st until 21st October, 1952 when the Holy Synod (Council) of the Church of Greece decreed that from henceforth there was to be celebrated in Greece a dual feast of the Holy Protection and the National holiday of ‘Oxi’ (‘No’) Day which commemorates the day when Greece said NO to the Axis powers and fascism and Nazism. https://greekcitytimes.com/2019/10/28/feast-theotokos-agia-skepi/
