SLAVA. Look up the Wiki page, it describes pretty well what it is and the customs around it, but in a nutshell; In Serbian Orthodox calendar today is st. Nicolas day. This is my family's patron saint which we celebrate annually. My dad died two months ago which means now it's on me to keep the tradition going. I haven't really processed his death yet so I wasn't ready to do it properly this year. My wife @Eva made it happen symbolically and I'm so grateful for it. In the images are the symbols of slava; the icon, candle, wine, wheat, and bread/cake. Next year I'll make sure everything is on point. #serbian #slava #orthodox #celebration
