At LJM International, we believe in the power of traditions to bring people together and set the tone for a successful year ahead. This January, we celebrated Vasilica, a cherished Macedonian tradition, with our team. The highlight of this celebration was the sharing of the traditional bread, known as “vasilopita,” which holds a hidden coin that symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the finder.
This year, the coin brought smiles and cheers to our colleague Itan, who had the good fortune of finding it! According to tradition, this is a sign that the year ahead will be filled with success, happiness, and great opportunities for him

The Significance of Vasilica

Vasilica, celebrated on January 14th, marks the Orthodox New Year and is dedicated to Saint Basil the Great. The tradition of the hidden coin in the bread represents blessings and abundance for the upcoming year. Families, friends, and teams come together to enjoy the bread, share their hopes, and spread good wishes.
At LJM International, this celebration is more than just about following tradition; it’s about fostering unity, strengthening bonds, and looking forward to what’s ahead as a team.

A Wish for Itan and the Team

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we step into the new year, LJM International remains committed to excellence, teamwork, and growth. We carry forward the spirit of Vasilica, where luck and hard work go hand in hand, driving us toward shared success.
