A few years back I asked a class of students to explain the details surrounding Greek Independence Day. The students went on to tell me about specific heroes and even the religious significance of the day. Most of them discussed how March 25th was a religious holiday and that they go to church on that day. I was surprised to find that children were not aware of the historical significance of that day. The rest of the discussion showed their confusion between OXI Day and Greek Independence Day.
