Before going to bed it is very important to cover the badnjak with hot ash so it will burn slowly to the following morning. How many sparks, that much money. Before lunch, while the fire is burning, the tradition is to place the pork or turkey to roast slowly for Christmas dinner. Another custom is to prepare a bowl in which young wheat is planted to grow during the forth coming year. The meaning is should be fertile and that the family will have luck.
All persons gather around the table, family and guests, while the father lights the candle.
If there were any disagreement, all are forgotton. On Christmas day, lunch gets underway earlier than usual and lasts longer. In contrast to Christmas Eve that relates to All Souls' Day, Christmas relates to the cult of agriculture. It is prepared using stalk of the last weat harvest filling them with kernels of different grains. Christmas bread is made of flaky dough in which a gold or silver coin is imbedded.
