Here in Greece today is a day for something special, we call that day "tsikno-pempth" freely translated as "the Thursday that we roast the meat a little bit longer". In every Greek house-store-neighbour etc you can smell the characteristic smell of the meat on charcoals, according to the tradition you must let it a little bit longer so the smoke plus smell will fill the space.Lot of food and drink plus wishes for health and prosperity.
The roots of this feast go back to our God Dionysus, our ancestors devoted that day to him and we continue the heritage.
