Ćesnica, the Christmas bread that is traditionally prepared before Christmas, carries with it rich symbolism and customs that differ throughout Serbia.Česnica is prepared in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ, and it is considered to symbolically represent the shroud of this religious holiday. A coin, which can be gold or silver, is traditionally placed in the bread itself, and the symbolism of the coin originates from the gift of baby Jesus at birth.This year, I found a coin. 😄
