Z In the homes of Balkan peasants
nothing is priced so highly as the fire
on the hearth, for it is regarded as
sacred, and is never allowed to go out.
Tradition says that if it Is extinguished
misfortune win surely come, and that
in many cases the death of the fire is a
sure token that some member of the
family will speedily die. Another time
honored tradition says that the sacred
fire Is able to cure many maladies, and
this is supposed to be the main reason
why it Is guarded so carefully through
out the Carpathians and the Balkan
peninsula.
