Take Your Time with Prokopis Agelopoulos | 18 Mar. 2024

A different show, dedicated to Clean Monday and Lent, but also to the events that took place during the festive three days, with the carnival events in Greece, was the show “Take Your Time” on Monday, March 18th, 2024, which was broadcast exceptionally at 9am until 11am Athens time.

Prokopis Angelopoulos traveled to various parts of Greece, with the voices of ERT correspondents in Kozani, Prespes, Ioannina, Lesvos, Attica with the events planned for Koulouma, in Galaxidi for the Alevromoutzouroma, a custom from the Byzantine era. We also traveled to Herten where, in the parish of Agios Dimitrios, we met Father Thomas Karamitros, who told us about how they observed the custom of bonfires in his parish, with the participation of many Greek immigrants. Finally, professor of Food Chemistry at the University of Western Attica, Kostas Sflomos, spoke to us about the Lenten dishes and the importance of the Lenten fast for the detoxification of the body and the benefits of a diet that meets the standards of the Mediterranean Diet, with moderation as the main axis .
