On St. Basil's Day (Agios Vassilis, the Greek Santa Claus), Greek children go around the houses singing .
In Greece, the end-of-year celebrations (Christmas and New Year's Day) are celebrated on Saint Basil's Day, January1. It is on this occasion that the "Orthodox Santa Claus", Agios Vassilis, gives presents to Greek children who go around the houses singing kalanda. They taste the vassilopita, a bun perfumed with orange blossom inside which a flouri, a coin, is hidden: whoever falls on it will have good luck for the rest of the year. The first 4 pieces are offered to God, Jesus, the Virgin and the house.
