Christmas feast<br />

After forty days of fasting, the Christmas feast<br />

is looked forward to with anticipation by adults<br />

and children alike. Pigs are slaughtered and<br />

on almost every table there are loaves of a<br />

special bread type, called ‘Crystopsomo’ or<br />

‘Christ’s bread’, made in various shapes.<br />

Bread crust is engraved and decorated in such<br />

a way that reflects the family profession. Other<br />

typical dishes are lamb or roasted kid.
