thank for posting this URL, which leads to "related posts", including the one about Nikos Kazantzakis. Of course, I have seen Zorba the Greek ..... and cherished his THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST. [many years ago, my book was borrowed and never returned]

March 25th marks a significant celebration in Greece, but I realize my knowledge on its historical context is quite limited.
From what I understand, this day commemorates the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821, where Greece sought to end several centuries of Ottoman rule. However, I'm eager to learn more about the intricacies of this period, the key figures involved, and how the struggle for independence unfolded over time.
Additionally, I'd be interested in understanding how this day is celebrated across Greece today and whether any particular traditions are tied to it. For example, are there specific ceremonies, parades, or family traditions that uniquely mark this day in Greek culture?
