When is Apokries Celebrated in Greece?

For the Greeks, this is a public holiday. The Apokries season begins 40 days before the start of the Great Lent and is closely associated with Orthodox Church. 

The festivities always begin on a Saturday in the church when the Triodion, a holy book, is officially opened. The season officially ends on Clean Monday (“Kathara Deytera”), which is the official beginning of the Great Lent.
