stove fire; A warm story that made the house a home

In an old house in the heart of Zagros, when the cold of the night passed through the door and wall seams, the flames of the stove didn't just burn the firewood; They created warmth that kept family members together. The sound of firewood burning, the smell of smoke on clothes and the flickering light of the flames were part of the daily life of the people whose days were tied to migration, animal husbandry and family ties. For them, extinguishing the fire sometimes has a meaning beyond the end of life

In an old house in the heart of Zagros, when the cold of the night passed through the door and wall seams, the flames of the stove didn't just burn the firewood; They created warmth that kept family members together. The sound of firewood burning, the smell of smoke on clothes and the flickering light of the flames were part of the daily life of the people whose days were tied to migration, animal husbandry and family ties. For them, the extinguishing of the fire sometimes had a meaning beyond the end of burning firewood; It was as if something from the warmth of the house, the hope for tomorrow and the blessings of the table were also disappearing.
