Purraise times infinity!!
My grandparents (mom's parents) used to have goats. They had a certain female that always gave birth on 25th of March every year. All the children of the family (mom and her sibblings) knew that when they would wake up in the morning of the 25th, they would see that goat, next to the fireplace licking her 2 babies. My grandmother used to bring her in the house, cause the winter was really brutal in that area (Northern Greece) and she didn't want that poor goat freezing while giving birth. So, she took her in, next to the fireplace and babies would pop up like pop corns
25th of March is a double celebration, here in Greece.

- Because we are Christian Orthodox, we celebrate the day that Virgin Mary was informed of her pregnancy from Gabriel, the archangel
- We also celebrate the day that Greek Revolution officially initiated against the Turkish/Ottoman domination
