Today is Kathara Deftera, which means ‘Clean Monday’ and it is the first day of Greek Orthodox Easter Lent.
Traditionally, Lagana (Λαγάνα) is baked and eaten today.

Dimitroulakis has a bakery in Chania, Crete, and for 25 years he has been preparing a giant lagana bread for Clean Monday.

His lagana is so giant in fact that it weighs 60 kilograms, is four metres long and 1.6 metres wide, Creta24 reported.

Lagana is a Greek flatbread that has a crunchy crust and a soft and airy inside.
