St. George's Day in church

On the morning of this year's slava, I was delegated to take the cooked wheat berries or koljivo

 to church to be sanctified under St. George's icon.

The priest prayed to St. George for the health and well-being of the families who celebrate him as their patron saint. 

The woman in the lilac vest is a cousin of ours and a regular guest at my family's slava. 

She does not celebrate slava but still makes and brings a bread to church every year as a sign of gratitude to St. George for her son's surviving a near-death experience in the Bosnian war.

Here are some of the slava breads that were brought to the church that morning.

I only took the bowl of cooked wheat berries to church, as our slava bread was yet to be baked.

Almost looks like a celestial light is shining on us from up above...

Once the church service is finished,  koljivo is taken back home. 

Each guest will take a spoonful of sanctified koljivo, cross himself/herself and thank God over a clay pot with burning incense once the slava prayer is read out.
