CHRISTMAS EVE CUSTOM
IN OUR FAMILY, EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE BEFORE THE MAIN
MEAL, THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY TAKES A SMALL PIECE OF
WAFER BREAD, SIMILAR TO THE HOLY COMMUNION HOST AND
BREAKS A PIECE WITH EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, WHO
IN TURN BREAK BREAD WITH EACH OTHER. THIS IS DONE
TO SYMBOLIZE THE SIMPLE GIVING OF GIFTS AT CHRISTMAS.
