My late best friend was Orthodox and he showed me the preparation for his church. I tasted the memorial wheat and it was delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231945406340213642.post-61144249047697296142008-08-29T11:45:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:45:00.000-07:00So that's what that was!

My husband and I are new catechumens, and a family brought one of these on sunday, and it was set out during the memorial service given by the Priest.<BR/><BR/>Being new to Orthodoxy, I didn't know what it was, or what it was for exactly. I meant to ask, but then I forgot.JustJosephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591927565065197802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231945406340213642.post-20375889095644647352008-08-26T13:17:00.000-07:002008-08-26T13:17:00.000-07:00I like the idea of other fruits, nuts, or seeds!It...I like the idea of other fruits, nuts, or seeds!<BR/><BR/>It is weird - such a delightful sweet treat for such a sad occasion. Maybe it's supposed to be delightful to remember how much you love someone?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17229888665290508882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231945406340213642.post-40182121324138743512008-08-26T12:59:00.000-07:002008-08-26T12:59:00.000-07:00my favorite additions to koliva that are not in yo...my favorite additions to koliva that are not in your recipe: pomegranate seeds (I buy the fruit in season and freeze the seeds since my grandmother's memorial is in April when you can't get them) and toasted sesame seeds. They give it a wonderful nutty flavor and smell.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559423891850170899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231945406340213642.post-15448337251863644322008-08-26T07:17:00.000-07:002008-08-26T07:17:00.000-07:00Thank you for this.

I am going to use your recipe very soon, as my sister's 6-month memorial is Sept. 05.Anastasia Theodoridishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092531121989260111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231945406340213642.post-66300394389832652372008-08-26T04:23:00.000-07:002008-08-26T04:23:00.000-07:00My church is currently compiling a cookbook and I ...My church is currently compiling a cookbook and I note (as one of the compilers) that it includes 2 recipes for memorial wheat (koliva). The recipes are very different, I noted - but it's interesting to see what differences there are and what similarities there are.<BR/><BR/>(I probably shouldn't laugh about this, but my YoungerSon LOVES koliva! He loves it so much that he fairly squeals with joy when we get to church and note that there is koliva present for memorial prayers).Chahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671159425647448277noreply@blogger.com
