This year you sit comfortably on your couch with a Christmas drink and you listen to the most popular and traditional Greek carols by clicking on the different regions on Greece’s map. Of course, we would all prefer to go outside and sing the carols from door to door but I guess this seems impossible this year.

Christopsomo (Χριστόψωμο), Christ’s bread is a very old Orthodox tradition. In most Greek Orthodox homes, the bread is made on the 24th of December with high quality ingredients and a lot of care. It is usually round in form with decorations on top. In the old times, people would fast until the morning church service on Christmas day and would eat this bread as their dinner just with olives and red wine.
