A νονού (Godparent) is a person chosen by parents to take on a special role in a child's life, particularly during religious ceremonies like baptism. This individual is often responsible for guiding the child in their spiritual upbringing and supporting them throughout their life. In many cultures, the νονού also plays a significant role in family traditions and celebrations. They may be involved in important events, such as birthdays and graduations, and are expected to provide mentorship and support, fostering a close relationship with the child and their family.
