💙Clean Monday, known as “Kathará Deftéra” (Καθαρά Δευτέρα) in Greek, is a significant observance in Eastern Christianity, marking the commencement of Great Lent—a 40-day period of fasting and spiritual preparation leading up to Easter. Falling on the seventh Monday before Orthodox Easter, Clean Monday emphasizes purification of both body and soul, symbolizing the transition from the festive Carnival season to a time of reflection and penance.

~Cultural Significance and Traditions:

In Greece and Cyprus, Clean Monday is a public holiday celebrated with various customs that blend religious devotion with cultural festivities:

🌱Koulouma (Κούλουμα): This term refers to the traditional outdoor gatherings and picnics held on Clean Monday. People venture into the countryside or local parks to enjoy nature, symbolizing a fresh start and the unofficial beginning of spring.

🥖Lagana (Λαγάνα): A special unleavened flatbread baked exclusively on this day, lagana holds a central place in Clean Monday meals. Its absence of leavening agents aligns with the day’s emphasis on purity and simplicity.

🦑Fasting Foods: Adhering to Lenten dietary restrictions, traditional Clean Monday dishes exclude meat, dairy, and eggs. Instead, the focus is on seafood such as shellfish and mollusks, along with accompaniments like taramasalata (a fish roe spread), olives, and various legumes.

🌺Kite Flying: A cherished custom, kite flying on Clean Monday symbolizes the human spirit’s aspiration towards the divine. Families, especially children, partake in this activity, adding a festive and colorful dimension to the day.

~Religious Observances:

The liturgical aspect of Clean Monday is profound:

Forgiveness Vespers: On the eve of Clean Monday, many Orthodox churches hold a special service known as Forgiveness Vespers. During this ceremony, congregants seek mutual forgiveness, fostering a sense of communal harmony and readiness for the Lenten journey.
By intertwining these rich traditions, Clean Monday offers a holistic experience that nurtures both spiritual reflection and communal joy, setting a meaningful tone for the Lenten period ahead.
