Origin

The story of Evangelia

Evangelia is kept on 25 March — the Annunciation, the Evangelismos, when the good news came to the Virgin. It is a name of that day rather than of a single saint.

The name is the good news. It joins εὐ- (“good”) and ἄγγελος (“messenger”) — the same root as the Gospel, Εὐαγγέλιον, and the Annunciation, Εὐαγγελισμός.

“The good news itself.”
