After confession and communion, you must return to your own home and serve a festive dinner for all family members, as well as for close and dear relatives. It is also important to note that according to ancient tradition, various dishes should have been present on the table, but the main condition was their home preparation. Therefore, a special holiday was celebrated with the help of pies and loaves, since every Orthodox believer could not afford such baked goods at that time.
