Yesterday, Sunday the 4th of December, Bishop Larry Kulick and the Diocese of Greensburg hosted a traditional Slovak Christmas Eve Dinner as well as a celebration of song and dance provided by "the Pittsburgh Slovakians". A large crowd attended this annual event which was held at the Christ Our Shepherd Center in Greensburg, our Diocesan facility. Those of a Slovak background and their guests enjoyed the evening and a great traditional Christmas Eve Dinner.
Since we live on the same campus we were happy to have had the same delicious Slovak food in our dining room. We were given baked cod, pierogies, peas, pagach (a food made of mashed potatoes, dough, cheese and onions or cabbage), mushroom soup, bobalki (dough balls with poppyseed), and prunes among other delights. We enjoyed this special meal.
There are many traditions surrounding Christmas, most coming from our various national customs and fares. May you have traditions that you uphold with your families.
