The term "νονών" refers to the Greek word for "godparent," specifically in the context of a child's baptism. In the Greek Orthodox Church, a νονός (male godparent) or νονά (female godparent) plays a significant role in the spiritual upbringing of the child. They are responsible for guiding the child in their faith and often take on a supportive role in the family. In addition to their spiritual duties, νονών also symbolizes a strong bond between families. The relationship often extends beyond the baptism ceremony, with godparents participating in important life events, such as birthdays and weddings, fostering a lifelong connection.
