January 30th is the Day of the Three Hierarchs, Saint Basil the Great, Saint Gregory the Theologian and Saint John Chrysostomos. These three saints are among the greatest teachers and theologians in Church history. They are considered the patron saints of education in Greece. It is for all these reasons that their day was celebrated at our campuses.
