Feast before the fast. Cyprus is about to begin their forty day fast before Easter. "Green Monday" (beginning of Lent) kicks off the start of it all. No meats; just fruits and vegetables and breads. Loads of big beautiful loaves of bread - herbed, olive loafs, seeded and unseeded. This daughter of a baker loves all of it! Families gather outdoors for picnics on this holiday and kids can be seen all over the island flying their kites, playing music and dancing. I love traditions!
