Lagana / Greek Flatbread (Vegan)

Lagana - Greek Flatbread Recipe

Lagana, halvas, and taramas, otherwise known as “the Koulouma,” are the official foods of the first day of Lent in Greece, a day known as “Clean Monday.” Having the same meaning as Ash Wednesday for Catholics, the Greek Orthodox Day marking the beginning of Lent is connected to different ancient customs across the nation. The most important customs are the flying of kites, going on outdoor excursions and the consumption of these particular delicacies. All the Greek “Clean Monday” customs date back to ancient times. But why do we eat these particular foods on this day? Do we really know what these foods stand for? And why is it that we eat only this type of bread, called Lagana, on Clean Monday?

This Christian celebration is traced back to the Byzantine period. The day was named Kathara Deftera because it was (and still is) a time for cleansing, both of body and soul. It also calls for literal cleaning: For example, on the morning of Clean Monday, people traditionally washed their pots and pans using hot ash water and dyed their pavements white, practices that are less common nowadays.
