An ancient tradition is bringing a sheaf of bound or braided grains into the home on Christmas eve. This 'didukh' symbolizes family ancestors whose spirits are believed to dwell in the stalks. It also represents new life, as the wheat kernel must die in the ground before it sprouts and produces new life - as through the life giving Nativity. |
