HAMBURGERS-Passive Voice
THE STORY OF THE HAMBURGER
The hamburger is the most eaten food in the whole world. The first hamburgers were made and sold in Connecticut in 1895 by an American called Louis Lassen. Louis called them hamburgers because he was given the recipe by sailors from Hamburg in Germany.
Hamburgers became a favourite meal in America in the early part of the twentieth century. Their popularity grew even more after the Second World War, when they were bought in large quantities by teenagers who preferred fast food to family meals. In 1948 two brothers Dick and Mac Donald opened a drive-in hamburger restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
Since then over 25,000 McDonald’s restaurants have been opened worldwide and now 35 million MacDonald's hamburgers are eaten every day in 115 countries from India to the Arctic Circle.

"Clean" Monday
Clean Monday (Greek: Καθαρά Δευτέρα), also known as Pure Monday, Ash Monday, Monday of Lent or Green Monday, is the first day of Great Lent throughout Eastern Christianity and is a moveable feast, falling on the 7th Monday before Pascha (Easter).
The common term for this day, "Clean Monday", refers to the
leaving behind of sinful attitudes and non-fasting foods. It is sometimes
called "Ash Monday", by analogy with Ash
Wednesday (the day when the Western Churches
begin Lent).
Liturgically, Clean
Monday—and thus Lent itself—begins on the preceding (Sunday) night at a
special service called Forgiveness Vespers, which culminates with the Ceremony of Mutual
Forgiveness, at which all present will bow down before one another and ask
forgiveness. In this way, the faithful begin Lent with a clean conscience, with
forgiveness, and with renewed Christian love. The entire first week of Great
Lent is often referred to as "Clean Week", and it is customary to go
to Confession during this
week, and to clean the house thoroughly.
Clean Monday is a public holiday in Greece and Cyprus, where it is celebrated with outdoor excursions, the consumption of shellfish and other fasting food, a special kind of azyme bread, baked only on that day, named " lagana" (Greek: λαγάνα) and the widespread custom of flying kites. Eating meat, eggs and dairy products is traditionally forbidden to Orthodox Christians throughout Lent, with fish being eaten only on major feast days, but shellfish is permitted in European denominations. This has created the tradition of eating elaborate dishes based on seafood (shellfish, molluscs, fish roe etc.). Traditionally, it is considered to mark the beginning of the spring season. Kite flying is also part of the tradition, as it symbolises "trying to reach the Divine".
