Koliva kollyva or kollyba (Greek: κόλλυβα pronounced [ˈkoliva]; Serbian: кољиво koljivo; Romanian: colivă; Bulgarian: коливо kolivo; Ukrainian: коливо kolyvo) is boiled wheat which is used liturgically in the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Eastern Orthodox Churches.This ritual food most likely was used even before Christianity since the ingredients used have symbolic value relating to the Greek pantheon though not to Christian iconography.
