I read that it was a feast held by the Greeks on the fifth or seventh day after the child's birth to introduce them into the family and name them(nameing was only in poor families). In rich families there was a naming cremony called dekate. In Greece many children didnt live very long after their birth and so that is why this ritual is a little bit later in the child's life. well i hope that helps!

What is the difference between Catholic and Greek Orthodox weddings?

Catholic and Greek Orthodox weddings differ primarily in their rituals and theological emphasis. In a Catholic wedding, the focus is often on the exchange of vows and rings, and the ceremony typically includes a Mass. In contrast, Greek Orthodox weddings involve a rich set of traditions, such as the Crowning Ceremony, where the couple is crowned with stefana, symbolizing their unity and the glory of God. Additionally, while both traditions recognize the sacramental nature of marriage, the Greek Orthodox Church places a stronger emphasis on communal celebration and the importance of the community in the sacrament.
