Here is a bowl of koliva to mark the 40th day of our dear Mr. Bruce John who fell asleep in the Lord suddenly. Koliva
is usually made with boiled wheat, sweetener, fruits, nuts, spices, and
herbs to symbolize death and Resurrection: Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth
alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. I made this one
with sushi rice (due to time constraints), powdered sugar, a dash of
vanilla, cinnamon, dried sour cherries, dried cranberries, pumpkin
seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, goji berries, cacao, and dried apples. I
also decorated the top with whole pecans placed in the shape of a
cross.
