Christmas in Slovakia

Christmas Eve (24 December) is the most important day of celebration in Slovakia. It is widely believed that whatever someone has done on this day, he can do throughout the year. Nothing can be lent, because the entire family fortune would then be “borrowed”. Christmas Eve dinner starts Slovakia prayer, sprinkling holy water on the table and share the wafer with honey and walnuts. There is also a wafer with garlic. Honey symbolizes goodness and love throughout the year, and garlic – health. It is a tradition very similar to Polish.

On a table should not be missing nuts. Everyone chooses one – if you hit the good, it will have good luck throughout the year. Another christmas custom practiced in Slovakia is cutting an apple in half – if it is healthy, with all the seeds, you will meet all household members at the table in next year. Mandatory Christmas Eve dish is “kapustnica“, or sauerkraut soup with mushrooms, without meat or sausage.
