Kutya is a warm porridge made of wheatberries, honey and poppy seeds. Some families will add chopped walnuts to the porridge. It is made at Christmas and typically children will go after divine liturgy on Christmas morning to their godparents' home and offer them a bowl of kutya. It is also traditional to eat it at the dinner on January 6th which is Christmas Eve and still during the time of the strict Nativity Fast. It is an Eastern Slav Orthodox tradition found in both the Ukraine and Russia.
Wheatberries symbolize immortality and hope and the poppy seeds and honey are symbols of happiness, success and peaceful rest.

What does a bleeding heart tattoo symbollize?
The Sacred Heart is a religious devotion to Jesus' physical heart as the representation of the divine love for humanity. I have a sacred (or "eternal flame") heart tattoo...I got it to symbolize that my feelings for the person I got it for and the memories I have of them are important and never ending (that person is deceased). I'm not sure of the typical definition of the sacred heart tattoo, but I know that whenever I look at mine it symbolizes a person and time in my life that I hold sacred. The Sacred Heart is from Christian Origins.The Heart represents the heart of christ, and his love for the worldwhile the crown of thorns represents...well..the crown of thorns... digging into the heart, which is usually bleeding, to represent the pain and suffering Christ felt.The Cross on top of the heart is the crucifix on which Christ died, and the fire behind the cross usually coming up from the heart, is to represent the fire on the threshing floor...to burn everything away and start newfrom Matthew"He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire"
