Making Christmas bread
Christopsomo (Χριστόψωμο = Christ's bread), is a
Greek bread decorated with a cross.
Christopsomo is a rich, round loaf scented with wine soaked figs, anise and orange. It sometimes contains such ingredients as nuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and mastiha, a dried pine raisin. The preparation of Christopsomo is considered a sacred tradition in Greek Orthodox homes, and the care with which it is made is said to ensure the well-being of the home in the year to come.

The students of the 5th Grade made Christopsomo with their teacher, Ms Helen,
and I took a few photos of the preparation of the bread.
