How Do Greeks Celebrate Ohi Day?

[d_kakavouli]

I looked up Ohi Day resentful because I learned it was occurring soon. I find the history so interesting! I know that Greeks have the day off. I am wondering how Greeks typically celebrate it? The events surrounding the day seemed to represent Greece's ability to stand up for what was right and to resist the Axis forces. It was the right thing to do to not let the Axis enter Greece easily so that they can have a strategic place for their troops.

To celebrate this important part of history today, though, what do the Greeks do today?

There are some celebrations throughout the country. I believe it is a holiday where people have the day off and there might be parades and other celebrations. This is an important day for Greeks.
