Mistletoe
Mistletoe comes from park or forest. We hang it above our door, cooker or Christmas table.
It brings happines during all year.
Hay
Hay on the table is a very important symbol. Jezus slept on hay because his mother was poor. We hide hay under a white tablecloth.
Luck
On December 24, in the morning, families wait for the first guest. If it is a man or a boy, it provides fortune. If the first comes a woman the coming year will be unlucky. The guest who comes tells
the wishes and gets a small gift. Now it is usually money, but in the past it was food.
Christmas Eve
The most important day is Christmas Eve (24 December). We wait for the first star in the
sky. Then we exchange wishes and break holy wafer with our family.
Christmas Eve
We usually have twelve dishes on the Chrismas table. They symbolize the twelve disciples
who sat with Jesus at the last supper.
St. Stephen’s day
We celebrate Christmas on December 25 and St. Stephen’s Day on December 26. We
visit our relatives and spend time together.
