Join us as we celebrate Kathara Deftera (Clean Monday), the beginning of Great Lent, with tradition, community, and sky-high kites.
Clean Monday, or Kathara Deftera, as it is known in Greece, signifies the beginning of a 40-day fasting period in preparation for Easter. The name Clean Monday is symbolic of the cleansing that takes place on this day, both in terms of physical detoxification and spiritual rejuvenation among Orthodox Christians. One of its most beloved traditions is kite flying, representing the lifting of the soul toward heaven and the start of a new season.
We invite you to come together with us for an afternoon of community, reflection, and fun as we honour this tradition.
Date: February 23, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Location: University College
Room: UCB203
Whether you grew up celebrating Kathara Deftera or are experiencing it for the first time, this event is a chance to connect with Greek orthodox tradition in a meaningful and joyful way.
Feel free to bring your own kite — or simply come by, learn, and enjoy the moment with us.
Let’s welcome Great Lent together, grounded in tradition and lifted by community 🌿
