Holy Supper

Mrs. Zahay 2:30-5:00 pm.

Holy Supper foods included:

pirohi

bobalkis (with poppy seeds)

mushroom soup

kolachi (served with grated American cheese, prunes, potatoes or cabbage).

fish (baked with a bit of oil)

raw apples

prunes (cooked)

Oplatkis; a thin, flat unleavened bread that was bought from the Church,
was served before the meal.
These were eaten with garlic.

To serve oplatkis, they were put on a plate, and each member of
the family takes a piece, puts honey on it & eats it.

(Frank Zahay commented that they used to say that the garlic
eaten on Christmas Eve had a meaning. In case you were
bitten by a dog that had rabies, it wouldn't affect you. Honey had a
meaning too, he said.)
