One pic or series of one thing, for 30 days. This is day 17

Koliva (also transliterated Kollyva) (Greek, κόλλυβα, kólliva; Serbian, кољиво, koljivo; Romanian, colivă; Bulgarian, коливо, kolivo) is boiled wheat which is used liturgically in the Eastern Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Churches.

This ritual food is blessed after the memorial Divine Liturgy performed at various intervals after a death; after the funeral; during mnemosyna - memorial services; on the first Friday of the Great Lent, at slavas, or at mnemosyna in the Christmas meal.

A similar food item is widely popular in Lebanon where it is known as snuniye and, more commonly, as berbara as it is prepared for Saint Barbara's day, December 4th, which is celebrated with Halloween-like festivities.

While recipes may vary widely, the primary ingredient is wheat kernels, which have been boiled until they are soft, and then sweetened with honey, sugar, and some fruit. It may also contain sesame seeds, almonds, ground walnuts, cinnamon, sugar, pomegranate seeds, raisins, anise and parsley (Romanians also decorate the coliva with crosses of cocoa, chocolate or candy). The practice of offering coliva is frequent in Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova, and is known in Russia and other Balkan countries.

Nobody died. :) But I just ate some. I am not sure why dad had some made. I know it looks a bit dodgy but it tastes really good.
