WHAT TO DO WITH THE COIN FROM THE CHRISTMAS BREAD

One of the most beloved Christmas traditions for many is breaking the Christmas bread (česnica) and waiting to see if the coin symbolizing luck, health, and wealth is hidden in their piece.

And if you happen to be the lucky one who finds the coin this year, here's what you should do with it.

What's important is that on Christmas, every family member must eat their piece of the bread, whether it contains the coin or not, to ensure that all members of the household have strength and health for the coming year.

The Christmas bread is a tradition that cannot be missed during this great holiday, and if you found the coin inside, you’ve probably placed it somewhere to keep it safe – but you may have done it wrong!

According to tradition, the money found in the bread should be redeemed with another amount of money from the person who found it, and then placed on the icon or next to it, where it should be kept until the next Christmas. 

It is believed that the lucky person who finds the coin will have a year of happiness and prosperity.
