Today we celebrate Badnje veče (Christmas Eve).

 

This is badnjak.

Tradition is that housefather early in the morning cuts it and bring it into house. (In more riecent times, especially in the cities you can buy at market).

 

You keep it through year and the one from last year burn.

 

In front on the church lightening of badnjak is organized, too.

The dinner on this day is prepared accordance with the rules of fasting.

And there is one tradition for kids korinđanje (kids put on masks) or pijukanje when kids go  through neigborhood and sing and ask for sweets.

 

Tradition also varies from region to region.

 

Srećno Bandje veče! Happy Christmas Eve!
