🪁 Καλή Καθαρά Δευτέρα!

Clean Monday (Καθαρά Δευτέρα), also known as Pure Monday, Ash Monday, Monday of Lent or Green Monday, is the first day of Great Lent throughout Eastern Christianity and is a moveable feast, falling on the 7th Monday before Pascha (Easter).

Clean Monday is a public holiday in Greece and Cyprus, where it is celebrated with outdoor excursions, the consumption of shellfish and other fasting food, a special kind of azyme bread, baked only on that day, named "lagana" (λαγάνα) and the widespread custom of flying kites.

🥩 Καλή Τσικνοπέμπτη!

Tsiknopempti (Τσικνοπέμπτη) is part of the traditional celebrations of Apókries (Απόκριες), the Greek Carnival season. The celebration, normally translated as Smelly Thursday, Charred Thursday, or Smoky Thursday, centers on the consumption of large amounts of grilled and roasted meats.

The Greek word Τσικνοπέμπτη (Tsiknopempti) is made up of the words τσίκνα (tsíkna, lit. 'the smell of roasting meat') and Πέμπτη (Pémpti, 'Thursday').

❓ Did you know?

Greek hugely influenced English, and as such, many technical and scientific terms derive from Greek (especially prefixes). For example, mathematics, astronomy, and biology are of Greek origin.
Additionally, almost every English word that starts with ph (e.g., philosophy, photograph, phobia, phenomenon) comes from Greek.

According to estimates, more than 150,000 words of English are derived from Greek words. Of the 500 most common words in English, 18 are of Greek origin: place (rank 115), problem (121), school (147), system (180), program (241), idea (252), story (307), base (328), center (335), period (383), history (386), type (390), music (393), political (395), policy (400), paper (426), phone (480), economic (494).
