Hristos Se Rodi - Serbian Orthodox Christmas

I get to experience two Christmases every year. The first on 25th December (Gregorian calendar) and again for the Orthodox faith on the 7th January (Julian calendar).

My Orthodox Christmas.

I get to experience two Christmases every year.

The first on 25th December (Gregorian calendar) and again for the Orthodox faith on the 7th January (Julian calendar).

Tamara always makes Česnica, the traditional and ceremonial, round loaf of bread that is an indispensable part of the Christmas dinner.

A little background about Česnica.
