Last week was a national holiday in Greece; Clean Monday, or Kathara Deftera, marks the end of the three-week Carnival or Apokries and signifies the start of Lent. Festivities included traditional songs and dances as well as kite flying, symbolizing the purification of the soul.

This is pure chaos! 🤯
Greeks in Galaxidi mark the start of a 40-day fast by throwing 1.5 tonnes of dyed flour at each other in a wild 200-year-old tradition.
A true rainbow battle!

Clean Monday marks the start of Lent in Greece—a time of renewal, reflection, and hopeful new beginnings. Families gather, kites fill the sky, and traditions unite communities across generations. 🕊️ #CleanMonday #GreekTraditions

Not quite the traditional Greek way to kick off (with the octopus on the stove at low heat in a separate saucepan) but the best way to flavour your olive oil! 🇮🇹

A classic Καθαρή Δευτέρα dish, for the beginning of the Greek Orthodox Lent. Usually made with small pasta, hilopites on this occasion. Onions, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, all spice, sweet paprika, tomato purée, wine, add to the richness and depth.

Learned something new today. Today in Greece is #CleanMonday. Yesterday there was a clown festival and parade. About 1/2 of the people in #AgiosNikoloas were in costumes. Surreal experience

Clean Monday: I love the fact that Orthodox Lent begins with kite flying, rather than ashing. A "lifted high on a divine wind" kind of repentance, and invitation to choose life.

It's #ForgivenessSunday! That means it's time for your annual reminder that the West starts #Lent with #AshWednesday, but the East starts it with #CleanMonday.
