Slavski kolač (Serbian Cyrillic: Славски колач) is a traditional Serbian cake (a type of bread). It is made during maintenance of Slava. Custom is to the housewife bake a cake which is then consecrated by the priest, poured red wine m and broken by each present member family per piece before lunch.

The glorious cake is a symbol of the body of Jesus Christ, and the wine with which the cake is poured represents his blood. That is why in the middle of the cake, as well as in four places along the rim, seal is placed with the letters "ИС ХС НИ КА" (Cyrillic) which is Greek abbreviation from "Jesus Christ overcomes."
