Slavski kolač (Serbian Cyrillic: славски колач) is a traditional Serbian cake (a type of yeast bread). It is made for the Orthodox Christian celebration of Slava, a UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[1][2][3] The parish priest visits the family to consecrate the kolač and red wine, and to light a beeswax candle stamped with an image of the saint.[1][2][3]
Often extended family and friends are invited to the celebration. Wine is poured over the cake, and it is cut or broken by members of the family before lunch.[4][2]
