Koledari
At midnight on Christmas Eve there is a tradition of boys and unmarried young men visiting all the houses of the neighborhood. They sing Christmas songs that wish good health for hosts. The boys receive treats in return such as money or food. Each boy carries a stuck called `survachka`, with which each one of them pats the back of their parents, grandparents and friends, wishing them health, wealth and happiness. On these long sticks are stuck round breads with holes known as `kravai`.
