About
The St Spyridon Parish Philoptochos invites our loyal Parishioners to the 2026 Tsiknopempti Dinner - a traditional Greek Meat Banquet cooked on charcoals.Tsiknopempti is the Thursday during carnival that marks the beginning of the last weekend that observant Greek Orthodox Church members are allowed to eat meat before they begin their lenten fast.
Tradition has it that on this day everyone prepares and enjoys their favorite meat dishes and typically a cloud of smoke where it is being cooked or barbecued. This gives Tsiknopempti one of its other common names, “Smokey Thursday” or “Smoked Thursday”.
