The traditional way to celebrate Orthodox Christmas is as follows: on the morning of Christmas Eve (January 6th for the Orthodox), people decorate homes with ivy and hay, bring in the traditional oak tree and prepare cakes and main course meals, including veal and pig roasts for the ceremonial Christmas dinner.
Pravoslavni Božić tradicionalno se slavi na sljedeći način: u jutro Badnjeg dana (6. siječnja kod pravoslavaca), vjernici ukrašavaju domove s bršljanom i slamom, unoseći tradicionalne hrastove grane i pripremaju kolače i glavna jela, uključujući pečenu teletinu ili svinjetinu za ceremonijalnu božićnu večeru.
