Hay is placed on the table under a white tablecloth in memory of the fact that Christ was born in a stable. On holy evening, the whole family usually gathers. Before the feast, the head of the family lights a candle, reads a prayer and a fragment from the Bible about the birth of Christ. Households break a wafer - very thin unleavened bread, say wishes and ask for forgiveness for old grievances. By tradition, you should try all the dishes at least a little. After supper, believers sing Christmas carols, and then go to the nighttime Christmas service - a parsley.
