Fried Codfish With Garlic Sauce

Today is a bank holiday in Greece for two reasons.  March 25th marks the day Greece began its revolution for independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821. More important, today is the day Angel Gabriel announced the happy news to the Virgin Mary, that she is going to have a baby 9 months from today (December 25th). Batter fried Codfish with a garlic sauce is being served for lunch today in most Greek homes.
