Today in Greece it is "Tsiknopemti". In free english translation "barbequeing smell Thursday"! People gather together and they barbeque, dressed up in Carnival costumes, they eat meat, souvlakia, steaks, drink wine and make jokes. It is ten days before Shrove Monday, when the 40 days lent for Easter starts in Greece. Most Greeks are Greek Orthodox Christians and "Tsiknopemti" or "Meating Thursday" is part of our traditions. People barbeque today and the all villages and towns smell what we call "Tsikna".
