Cinnamon
Cloves in powder

Wash, sauté and smash the sesame. Add the nuts, the sugar and the cloves. Lay 7-8 phyllos, while you sprinkle corn oil on them. Then, start spreading the mixture of sesame and the rest phyllos successively. Finally, put some phyllos at the top of the pie, without any mixture in between.

Koliva: the symbolism of the ingredients and how we decorate them

Our Church established two All Souls’ Days for those who have fallen asleep, because many people at times died in the sea or in mountains and cliffs or due to poverty and did not receive the typical memorial services. For this reason, "The holy Fathers, moved by philanthropy, established this memorial service for all devoutly departed Christians throughout the ages". In the Orthodox monastic life, memorial services and in general the memory of death, have a great importance. For this reason, the holy fathers give special attention to kolliva, both in their preparation and consumption.
