Chronia Polla - Χρονια Πολλα Many Years. Nina wrote Many God pleasing years which is so much more appropriate than our usual Many Years.

My husband is also celebrating his name day today.

Wow, Effie! Sorry I forgot (since you have referred to your husband by his name)! Xronia Polla! Love Saint Demetrios, and I received a piece of cotton with the myrrh from his relics exactly 4 years ago when I was in Thessaloniki these months. The heavenly aroma has not dissipated, yet!!!

Dear Effie, the wish "Many God pleasing years!" is what Geronda/Elder Paisios said we should wish our family and friends for their nameday, or birthday etc. I loved it so much that I adopted it since. I wish it was this easy to adopt all Fathers' advise.
