Česnica is the round bread loaf served during Christmas dinner in Slavic countries such as Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. A coin is usually placed in the dough and at the start of Christmas dinner, the česnica is “rotated three times counterclockwise, before being broken among the family members”. The person who finds the coin in their piece of the bread will get be lucky in the new year.
Some families decorate the bread with piece of dough in the shape of their hobbies or jobs.
