Kutia is a sunny Ukrainian sweet dessert that is regularly made around the holiday seasons. A surprisingly exclusive meal is served on Christmas nightfall. Kutya is a quite effortless meal of boiled grains dressed with almonds, dried fruit and honey; however, its traditional modesty belies its strong symbolic definition of richness and wealth. It was among some ceremonial meals made every Christmas and Easter.
It is not surprising that kutya stayed alive 70 years of the atheist communist party policy; its origins go back to the classical times, and an identical prep work called kollyba is pointed out in the times of ancient Byzantium.
