Christmas Eve is a Christmas Eve meal that is well known to every Lithuanian, the symbolic meaning of which dates back to archaic, pre-Christian times. It is a small bread intended to honor and feast on ancestors, a ceremonial food.
Portioned breads are increasingly appearing in the shopping cart – their consumption has increased by 12 percent over the past year. However, this product has not yet reached the level of popularity in Scandinavia, where it is one of the favorite bread formats.
