The saints and the angels are an
important part of the Greek Orthodox church and faith. All
baptised Greeks are named after a saint, and so the name day is
celebrated rather than the birthday.
The saints are divided into six main categories: 1) The Apostles
2) The Prophets 3) The Martyrs 4) The Fathers & Hierarchs 5) The
Monastics 6) The Just. In Iconography they are usually dressed
accordingly.
Below is a list of saints that are venerated in the Greek
Orthodox religion, and you can read about who they were. Perhaps
