What is and when does Triode open?

It is a particular church period, which holds a special place in the religious tradition of the Orthodox Church. Triodio always opens on the Sunday of Telon and Pharisee (9,2.2024) and ends on the Great Saturday (19.4.2025), or one day before Easter Sunday, lasting a total of 10 weeks. CORVERSE It is noted that the beginning and end of Triodio is mobile, because the date of Easter is also mobile. It is thus called from the book of the same name that includes hymns and prayers and is used during this period. These hymns have three songs as opposed to the rest of the hymns the church, which have nine songs. CORVERSE The hymns of Triodis were written from the 5th to 15th century AD. Manuscripts of the hymns of Triodio are preserved from the 10th century AD and for the first time printed, this book, in Greek in 1522 AD in Venice. This period of time includes a series of religious and cultural celebrations, such as Chiknopept, Sunday of Halloween, Clear Monday, Great Lent, Sunday of Vaia and Holy Week, until the Resurrection of the Lord. It is a period of special importance, as it combines spiritual preparation, festive mood and fasting. This period is full of symbolism and is an opportunity for spiritual and mental renewal. Nutritional habits change significantly for those who follow Christian customs. During Lent, for example, believers fast, avoiding eating meat, dairy products and other foods. However, there are exceptions: Chiknofifth is respected the custom of eating meat, while Sunday is the last day of eating meat before fasting. According to tradition, On the Sunday of Vaia, fish and seafood are served on the table, while Holy Week is characterized by strict fasting, culminating in the preparation of the faithful for Easter. Triodi is not only a religious period, but also a time rich in traditions associated with popular culture. From Carnival to the spiritual contemplation of Lent, this period reflects the composition of the Greek cultural and religious heritage.
