​Baba would make holopchi for special occasions; be it Ukrainian Christmas, a wedding or a family get-together.  The filling was composed mainly of rice, but in the Ukraine, buckwheat was commonly used in place of rice.  
 
Making holopchi is a time-consuming process; often taking a whole day to complete from start to finish.  Today, you can buy them already made, but the challenge and satisfaction are in making them yourself and keeping the tradition alive.
