Tsiknopempti (Fat Thursday)-greek customs
Hello everyone ♥
It`s a special day today here in Greece!
Fat Thursday is a traditional Catholic Christian feast marking the last Thursday before Lent and is associated with the celebration of Carnival.
Greeks celebrate Tsiknopempti during Patras Carnival by taking to the streets and consume large quantities of meat as soyvlaki by grill. City and town governments set up grills in central squares with music, too. Tsiknopempti literally means "Thursday of the Smoke of Grilled Meat" and it is celebrated 11 days before Clean Monday. Like a pagan fertility festivals of the god Dionysus, with ancient Greek origin, take place in Greece and marks the beginning of the Greek Orthodox fasting period before Easter
