Tsiknopempti (Greek: Τσικνοπέμπτη, romanized: Tsiknopémpti [t͡sik.noˈpem.pti]) is part of the traditional celebrations of Apókries (Απόκριες),[1] the Greek Carnival season. Tsiknopempti occurs on the second to last Thursday before Lent and can be translated as Charred Thursday or Smoky Thursday. It centers on the consumption of large amounts of grilled and roasted meats before Lenten fasting commences.[2]
