Wedding korovai in Kyiv, 2020
The korovai (Ukrainian: коровай, Russian: коровай before the 1956 reform), karavai (modern Russian: каравай, Belarusian: каравай, Old East Slavic: караваи),[1] or kravai (Bulgarian: кравай) is a traditional Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Russian bread, most often served at weddings, where it has great symbolic meaning. It has remained part of the wedding tradition in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, as well as in the Russian and Ukrainian diasporas. Its use in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine dates back to hospitality and holiday customs in ancient Rus. A similar bread (Polish: korowaj) is made in parts of eastern Poland.[2]
A round korovai is a common element of the bread-and-salt ceremony of welcome.
