Christmas customs fade in Oswad but thrive in Yugoslavia
The article notes the fading Yute log ceremony in Oswad’s Christmas observances while Yugoslavia keeps the family festival alive. The head of the household must fell the tree before sunrise on December 24 with three axe strokes, and the tree must fall to the east. It also mentions medieval Yuletide pies made of meat and rich spices shaped for the holiday.
