In Greek culture you celebrate the day of the saint you were named for. It's almost like a birthday. Saints Constantine (Dino) and Helen (Eleni) were mother and son so they share a name day (21st May) on the Orthodox calendar. In fact, the final deciding factor in choosing the name Eleni was that we received her referral on May 21st last year... just after we were out celebrating for Dino. Here they are this year blowing out the candles on their joint "yiorti" cheesecake!
