One of the traditions that is still followed in Croatia today is the sowing of Christmas Wheat that stands for life and fertility. On St. Lucy's day the 13th of December wheat seeds are planted in a plate of shallow water where they grow until Christmas. Later the wheat is trimmed and wrapped with a red, white and blue ribbon called tricolour-trobojnica. If the wheat is strong and green for Christmas, next year will be fruitful and joyful. Candlelight from candles lit and placed in the middle of wheat represents the soul within every person.
