The Joyous Traditional Family Celebration on New Year's Day is the anticipation of one lucky individual finding this Beautiful Gold Coin among family and friends around the table.” - Father George PapadeasDAYTONA BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, November 21, 2023 /EINPresswire / -- What could cost so little, but mean so much, to a Greek Orthodox Christian?
The answer is finding a gleaming Gold Coin that only one lucky person will discover in their slice of the New Year's Vasilopita Cake.
Remembering the priceless anticipation of finding the coin hidden in the Vasilopita was almost as significant as gifts under the tree at Christmas.

New Year's Day is a very special day everywhere, especially in the Orthodox calendar, as a time of renewal, prayer, and feasting. Many of the traditions associated with this day are unique to Eastern Orthodoxy. New Year's Eve honors the beloved Saint Basil, which is why, and where this tradition began some 1,600 years ago.
This beautiful coin was designed by Father George Papadeas, an American-born Greek priest and founder of Patmos Press. Father George's express purpose was that of highlighting this spiritual and joyous occasion. Families can create new traditions with the coin or continue to celebrate as in the past. The coin was designed to be used in the ceremony, and has become an inexpensive gift item.
