ceremonial and symbolic wedding bread. Traditionally it was a large round braided bread, baked from wheat flour and decorated with symbolic flags and figurines, such as suns, moons, birds, animals, and pine cones. It was given to the bride and groom as a blessing. Korovai is a highly decorated bread that is served during Ukrainian weddings. It comes from a long practiced tradition and is a very important part of Ukrainian wedding Ceremonies. Korovai is not like the other cakes because it is blessed and is shared among the guests. Korovai is made of dough and is decorated with flowers, birds, branches, ect. Each decoration has a meaning; for example, birds represent the happy couple being wed. The birds with the folded wings represent the women and the birds with spread wings represent the men because the man is the protector and provider of the family. Unfortunately the decorations themselves are not consumable but the bread underneath can be cut and shared amongst the guests, family and the happy couple. The preparation of Korovai is a long and important process. It is believed that women who prepare Korovai will pass part of their fate to the happy couple, so only happy married women can participate in the making of Korovai. Also, women that are making the dough will need to wash their hands with holy water and be tied with a decorated towel. While baking, the women sing and tell fun stories to bring happiness and good fortune to the newly-weds. After the Korovai is finished, it is blessed with a holy cross and is prayed over to bless the people who will be eating the Korovai and to give them a good, long life. After Korovai is baked people inspect it for bad omens. For example, twisted bread is a sign of bad luck and cracked bread is a sign of divorce. Korovai is present through the entire wedding, so when the couple goes to church to get blessed, the Korovai is taken with and is put near the altar. After the ceremony the Korovai is moved to where the married couple will celebrate with friends and family. Once there, it is divided amongst the guests, and the bride and groom to improve the couple's chances of having a long, happy and prosperous marriage.[6][7] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1459575390402-K7LLPKT2G5JBHUU7UVDB/image.jpeg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1459575392519-BKRKTM518SMJNZ0NNMME/image.jpeg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326864098-OKDWR0ABN5EA2LXQYXJW/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326864110-TVHSF7377EHBDGYGBEFO/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1496096644496-H7UW0MT7C263ENP8NUNO/13001289_1593967747560127_6001500788857016009_n.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326864854-YO4ASF8WGMSV0JATV85D/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326865149-L1NMC9PFAHM5OBUJKRC6/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326865611-Y8QV5VE915OKCRFGQQ80/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326865423-8JLZNUFXC51CKN2OPOCX/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1429326974636-8YYJW383WDOR72WTL3WK/image.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1496104065635-MG3OS9OQ0HA8RPF8TCP4/13001289_1593967747560127_6001500788857016009_n.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1496104076232-3A8330SAB21AE0I6ZB99/11954736_1528004254156477_9160723103439448217_n.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1496104108608-1GJ71MLBNCCUCXTMTOC2/13001289_1593967747560127_6001500788857016009_n.jpg Korovai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551f685fe4b0dd69470e6ea7/1496104124867-X0OFMOI2M5LD3OUZWV94/13001289_1593967747560127_6001500788857016009_n.jpg Korovai http://www.chicagocakeart.com/collections-jaunt daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841a0659f7456add2e4c479/1481659054289-0X2YHKAR1LZOZK6HPIRO/hats-homepage-v2.jpg Collections -
