Mount Athos Recipe for Koliva

Ingredients:
1/2 kg. of wheat
2 tablespoons of walnut crushed grated
1 tablespoon of almond-white breaded and grated
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/2 tablespoons of sesame roasted
1/2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of raisins
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of grated toast bread
For the coating: powdered sugar and cinnamon

Instructions:
Boil the wheat, so that it does not become a porridge. Strain it and spread it on a clean towel to drain its water. Put in a pan all the ingredients (except for the powdered sugar) and mix them. Place them on a platter and press them over with a baking paper. Cover it with sugar. If koliva is for memorial, form a cross with cinnamon or almond or pomegranate seeds. If it is for the celebration of a saint, create the form of the saint with cinnamon or natural colors.

Koliva: the symbolism of the ingredients and how we decorate them

Our Church established two All Souls’ Days for those who have fallen asleep, because many people at times died in the sea or in mountains and cliffs or due to poverty and did not receive the typical memorial services. For this reason, "The holy Fathers, moved by philanthropy, established this memorial service for all devoutly departed Christians throughout the ages". In the Orthodox monastic life, memorial services and in general the memory of death, have a great importance. For this reason, the holy fathers give special attention to kolliva, both in their preparation and consumption.
