Είναι ημέρα αργίας;
Επίσημη αργία σε όλη τη χώρα (Ελλάδα): οι περισσότεροι εργαζόμενοι έχουν ρεπό.
Το 2024 πέφτει ημέρα: Δευτέρα, δηλαδή εργάσιμη ημέρα.
Η ημερομηνία αλλάζει από έτος σε έτος.
Σάββατο και Κυριακή · Μια επίσημη αργία δεν κλείνει πάντα όλες τις επιχειρήσεις. Οι βασικές υπηρεσίες, τα καταστήματα και ορισμένοι κλάδοι συνεχίζουν να λειτουργούν, και οι κανόνες αμοιβής διαφέρουν ανά χώρα και σύμβαση.
Green Monday
Green Monday is the public holiday known in Greek as Kathara Deftera, Clean Monday, in Greece and Cyprus. It is the first day of Great Lent in the Orthodox Church and ends the pre-Lenten carnival season, known in Greek as Apokries. The name is usually explained as a cleansing of body and spirit, and many households also give the house and kitchen a thorough clean. It is also called Pure Monday, and outside the Orthodox Church sometimes Ash Monday, by analogy with Ash Wednesday.
The day is known for outdoor family picnics and for flying kites, which Greeks often explain as a symbol of reaching toward the divine. The meal is a Lenten spread without meat, eggs or dairy: lagana, an unleavened flat bread baked only on this day, plus taramosalata, olives, beans, halva and shellfish or octopus. Observant Orthodox treat the day as a strict fast, and many others eat only simple fasting foods. In Cyprus the day is spent in much the same way, with open-air meals and kite flying on hillsides and by the sea.
