А вот это с греческого сайта:

Next in importance to Easter are the \"twelve great feasts,\" of which three are movable. Eight of these feasts are devoted to Christ and four to the Virgin Mary. There are also a number of feast days of varying importance, most of which commemorate the more popular saints.
