Wedding bread is a special loaf of bread used during several wedding rituals in some Slavic countries. It is called “korovai”, “karavai”, or “kravai”. It is baked specifically for the wedding and then used during the rituals of blessing the couple and bread sharing when each guest gets a piece of bread. The korovai is always teared rather than cut with a knife. Wedding bread is used in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Belarus, Romania, and Russia.
