Χρόνια πολλά Κωνσταντίνος! Σας εύχομαι μια ζωή γεμάτη ευτυχία!
Since it is after midnight in Greece, I wanted to send Name Day Greetings to Konstantinos! Greeks celebrate "Name Days"- there are the special days that honor various Orthodox Saints. If you are named after one of these saints, you celebrate on the day associated with that Saint. It's a special celebration similar to the way we celebrate our birthdays. Konstantinos's name comes from the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_I_and_Christianity) who is revered as a saint in Eastern Orthodox Religions (like the Greek Orthodox Church)
The traditional greeting is Χρόνια πολλά which means "Many Years" (we wish you a long life)
