Khamis el sakara

Khamis El Sakara is a Lebanese holiday. The name is from Lebanese Arabic. It is celebrated on the last Thursday before the first day of Lent, when Lebanese Catholics gather and indulge in alcoholic beverages.

This is an old tradition where Christians gather to finish all their meat and dairy before the forty days of fasting.

Wine was the traditional alcoholic beverage and people were happy to gather and drink a lot of wine.
