Καθαρά ΔευτέραΚαθαρά Δευτέρα
Τα Κούλουμα μπορεί να έχουν ρίζες στην Αθήνα, ωστόσο οι εορτασμοί γίνονται σε όλη την Ελλάδα. Στα περισσότερα ελληνικά νοικοκυριά έχει ήδη ξεκινήσει το νηστίσιμο… φαγοπότι της Δευτέρας, από το οποίο δεν λείπουν φυσικά οι λαγάνες, ο ταραμάς, ο χαλβάς και τα καλαμαράκια. Και επειδή, ως γνήσιοι Έλληνες, δεν χάνουμε ποτέ την αισιοδοξία μας, έχουμε ήδη προμηθευτεί το χαρταετό που θα πετάξουμε, ενώ σε πολλές περιοχές της χώρας πραγματοποιούνται διάφορες εκδηλώσεις.

Clean Monday is the Monday that begins the season of Great Lent in Eastern Orthodox Churches. This corresponds to the season of of 40 days of Lent found in Western Christendom -the 40 days Jesus spent fasting the desert.
What Call it Clean Monday?:
This first day of Great Lent is called “Clean Monday” because Christians are called upon to begin the holy season with “clean hearts and good intentions.” It is also because the season of Lent is regarded as a time for when Christians should clean up their spiritual house, coming to terms with their lives and rededicating themselves to a more holy and righteous way of living.
Because Clean Monday is considered the first day of spring, Greeks tend to celebrate less by fasting and prayer and more by outdoor activities and picnics. Traditional foods this day include octopus, olives, and shrimp. In addition to picnics, traditional outdoor activities used to celebrate the day include flying kites, dancing, music, and so forth.
