Ohi Day (/ˈoʊhiː/; Greek: Επέτειος του Όχι, romanized: Epétios tou Óhi.
Anniversary of the No'; Greek pronunciation: [epe'tios tu o'çi]) is a national holiday observed annually on October 28th in Greece, Cyprus and the Greek diaspora.[1] It commemorates the rejection by Ioannis Metaxas, who governed as a dictator under the 4th of August Regime, of the ultimatum that Benito Mussolini's government presented in the early hours of October 28, 1940. Italian forces invaded Greece from Albania that morning, beginning the Greco-Italian War and bringing Greece into the Second World War.
The holiday takes its name from the word όχι ("no"), which became the popular emblem of the refusal, although Metaxas replied in French and appears never to have used the word itself.
The anniversary was first marked in occupied Athens in 1941 as an act of resistance, and the government of Georgios Papandreou proclaimed it a national holiday in October 1944. It is marked by a military parade in Thessaloniki, student parades in Athens and other cities, and special church services.
