Holidays Observed this Month In Nisyros

In America children celebrate Halloween in October. In Greece people celebrate Apokries. Apokries is considered the Carnival period before the 40 days of strict fast for the Lent of Easter. During Apokries, the people of Nisyros dress in costumes and masks, going door to door, almost like the American tradition of Trick or Treating.
During the second week of Apokries, known as Kreatini (Meat Week), meat may be eaten every day, even the traditional fast days of Wednesday and Friday.
The Thursday of the second week of carnival is known as Tsiknopempti (Tsikna Thursday). This is when the festivities begin. Traditionally, everyone must cook meat so that the smoke or tsikna fills the air and everybody knows it’s a feast-day.
