As Christmas Eve approaches in Greece, households prepare ‘Christopsomo’, a traditional holiday bread. Made by a local bakery in Rapsani, this bread is decorated with a walnut symbolizing Christ and abundance. Each family member receives a piece on Christmas Day as a reflection of sharing. The bread’s design reflects the baker’s profession, including motifs like oxen for farmers. Additionally, coins may be hidden within the dough to signify luck for the household during the feast, showcasing deep-rooted traditions.
