Oplatki (Christmas Wafers)

While this beautiful family Christmas tradition started centuries ago in Poland and Eastern Europe – it has now spread throughout the world and been adopted by many Christian families.

The Oplatki wafers (reminiscent of the bread used for the Liturgy of the Eucharist), are a simple white wafer, baked from flour and water. The wafers have designs to display Christmas images, such as the Nativity, adoring angels and the Star of Bethlehem.
