Hello lovely people! I'm losing the track of time and days lol. Wuz up, everyone? Still in the Christmas mood? Let me share something interesting today :) On The 24th of December, Mamo would prepare all kinds of traditional food. This bread is one of them, bread with symbols on it. Here, you can see a cross in the middle, it signifies blessings to your belongings or the things that are close to your heart. There were dogs, sheep, cats, and a house etc. We also don't eat meat on this day, a reflection day for those who had nothing on their table. Mamo baked another bread, with hidden surprises inside. There was bud from a tree, a coin, a bean, and a button inside the bread. She would divide the bread into parts and share it with everyone. Surpresa kung ano ang makukuha mo :) The button symbolizes being skillful and successful in your work. A coin is a symbol of prosperity and wealth, the branch from a tree means good health, a bean to have a good harvest for the whole year around. I think everyone likes to pick the coin lol Finding the bud is the hardest part because it's tiny. This year I got the coin hehe. I'll be rich nyahaha. Do you have a similar tradition in your country? Sorry guys, I've been so busy again. Be with you soon. #photography #pilipinas #balkanfood #balkantraditions
