Varvakios Market remains open all night for the Pure Monday feast

Thousands of Athenians "march" in Varvakios (fish market) in the center of Athens, Greece, on 18 February 2018 to buy fresh seafood (shrimps, octopuses, squids ets) and other traditional goods to prepare the meal for Pure Monday. Pure (aka Clean or Ash) Monday is the first day of the 40 day fasting (refrain from meat) that finishes on Easter Sunday, after the resurrection of Jesus. (Photo by Maria Chourdari/NurPhoto)
