Kites for my beloved Mel's #patternchallengebymel !!!🤗 • In Greece we are one week before Clean Monday when our skies are filled with kites! 🪁🪁 • The day of Clean Monday is celebrated strongly throughout Greece, with various customs and is an official holiday. It is common throughout Greece to eat lagana, i.e. unleavened bread prepared only on that day, taramas, halva, seafood, vegetables, olives and beans without oil. Main customs throughout Greece are kite flying, but also the so-called Gaitanaki, a custom brought from Asia Minor by the refugees. • Clean Monday is a movable holiday, which depends on the date of Easter. This day marks the beginning of Lent for the Orthodox Church, while at the same time it marks the end of Carnival!🤗 • Are you flying kites??💗 • Day 197 🙆🏻‍♀️ (at Athens, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co165yzopwz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
