Tsiknopempti, also known as “Smoky Thursday” or “Fat Thursday,” is upon us! This vibrant Greek celebration, falling on the Thursday before Clean Monday (the start of Lent), is a day dedicated to indulging in delicious grilled meats before the fasting period begins.
The aroma of sizzling souvlaki, succulent steaks, and flavorful sausages fills the air as families and friends gather for joyous barbecues and lively celebrations. It’s a day to embrace the spirit of Apókries (the Greek Carnival season) and savor the rich flavors of traditional cuisine.
We wish you a Καλή Τσικνοπέμπτη (Kalí Tsiknopémpti)! May your day be filled with delicious food, joyous celebrations, and sweet memories.
