How are yom kippur and rosh hashanah related?
Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and during services we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22). Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year (See Talmud, Keritut 6a). On Rosh Hashanah we proclaim God as our King and submit to His judgment. Blessing for the coming year is based on our performance in the previous year and our repentance. On Yom Kippur the decree is sealed. On each Rosh Chodesh (beginning of the month) we are again judged to see if we are still worth to receive the blessing allocated for that month. Each Shabbat the blessing for the following week is brought down.

What is the apokriatiko glendi?
This is made up of two Greek words: "apokries" and "glendi." The Greek word "apokries" means "farewell to meat" and "glendi" means a festival or carnival. The phrase "apokriatiko glengi" is the term given to the meatfare festival which takes places two weeks before Great Lent begins. In English, the 2nd last week before Great Lent is called "meatfare week" and the last week before Great Lent is called "cheesefare week". Meatfare week is the last week for eating meat, and cheesefare week is the last week for eating dairy products, before the fasting period begins and lasts for around 50 days prior to Easter Day. So the "apokriatiko glendi" is called meatfare week in English, and is the last week for eating meat before Great Lent begins. In Greece, the apokriatiko glendi is very popular and is celebrated with music, dancing and lots of meat-eating before the fasting period starts. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, fasting begins on "Clean Monday" which is 10 March 2008 this year, and ends on Orthodox Easter Sunday, which is on 27 April 2008. During the 50 days of fasting, Orthodox Christians usually abstain from eating all meat and dairy products, especially during the final week of Lent, which is called "Holy Week" or "Passion Week."
