Table for Christmas Eve

Table for Christmas Eve and Christmas are different, the first ( Christmas Eve ) is the fasting and the second ( Christmas ) after forty days of fasting, a holiday and the fat.The menu for Christmas Eve has not changed for centuries. Of the dishes on the table, next to badnyak bread and salt, is to be found, and fish fried in oil, pickled cabbage, noodles with nuts, pickled foods, honey, wine and baked beans. Each part of the holiday table has a lean symbolism. on Christmas Eve on the table to find an odd number of dishes.
Badnyak bread symbolizes the Christ ("I am the bread alive, who came down from heaven, who eats of this bread shall live for ever: and the bread that I shall give for the life of the world" - John 6.51).
Fish also symbolizes Jesus Christ, for the Greek language, through which our ancestors had adopted Christianity, the fish Ihtis, which is a set of initials of Jesus Christ.
Salt symbolizes divine power, which preserves the work of God, such as bread and keeps the fish from the mold and rot.
Wine is the blood of Jesus which he gave at Calvary for the sins of God redemption of men, while honey symbolizes the sweetness of eternal life.
On the table is placed a Christmas candle and screen, or pan in which a housewife puts four large rosyapples, wheat, corn, money, prunes and walnuts. All that symbolically represents a good life in the house.
Before this dinner, the host is crossed, light a candle, read a prayer, broke the Badyak bread and all the soulsoffering dinner, where to raise a glass of wine toasts.
