March 25th marks the fact that two "Hails" are the essence of Romiosini, of modern Hellenism:
"Hail Mary full of grace!"
"Hail, O hail to freedom!"
"Hail, O hail to freedom!"
Two nights fade, and two dawns appear in the air.
Two freedoms merge into the same day.
Two bloodstained freedoms, children of great toil,
the freedom of the Greek and the freedom of man.
- Kostis Palamas, poet (+ 1943)
