4 days and counting without gas in Artsakh under freezing temperatures.
Please consider donating to All for Armenia]] in their efforts to provide electric heaters and burners for the families in Artsakh.

All for Armenia]]
・・・
How cruel can someone be to deprive an entire population from gas in the winter?
The inhabitants of Artsakh have no gas to cook or warm their homes, it's been 4 days.
All for Armenia’s team will deliver electric heaters and burners to Artsakh’s front line villages by next week.
One electric burner costs 40$.
Ways to help:
1. Please consider donating in order to support our brothers and sisters in Artsakh. ( Venmo: All for Armenia]] / PayPal: [email protected] / website: allforarmenia.org/donate )

While Trndez is celebrated on the 14th of February, some celebrations take place the night before. On February 13 before dark, people bring kindling and candles to the square or courtyard and make a large fire.

People circled around the fire will take turns jumping over the fire, but the first ones to do so are the young and newly-wed couples, because this ritual is to bring them fertility and prosperity.

Towards the end of the fire, people stick their candles into the ashes and carry them (still lit) home.

Then they make a fire at the front of their house using that same candle. While the bonfire is burning, the oldest member of the house jumps over the flames first, followed again by the newly-weds, then young men and the rest of the family and whoever else is gathered with them. The half-burning fragments of wood as well as the ashes are kept and are scattered at the four corners of the house, the stable, garden, and pasture, since the flame of the fire and the ashes protect humans and livestock from disease and protect fruit-bearing trees from infections.

In some places, special foods are prepared for this festival, such as aghandz, halva and pokhind.

Diverse predictions are made while the bonfire is burning. For example, if the flame and smoke point toward the East, it means that there will be a good harvest that year; if they point toward the West, it will be a poor harvest. Such divinations lead one to believe that this fire festival is simultaneously the festival of the Solstice fire which probably originally was celebrated according to the old calendar, at the end of the old year or at the beginning of spring.

Subsequently this festival in Christian times was transformed into the festival of Tearnendaraj, just as all the great old pagan festivals became Christian festivals.

Tomorrow (Saturday, February 5) join Ara Oshagan for the final day and Artist Reception & Book Signing of “How the World Might Be”from 2-6pm.

Ara Oshagan’s “How The World Might Be” addresses diasporic presence in Beirut, language and the recent re-colonization of Artsakh through photography, film, collage and installation. Oshagan presents a layered and multi-disciplinary vision that weaves a narrative intertwining documentary with the imaginary, text with image, fact with speculation, personal with collective history.
oshagan has also launched a new book “displaced”, created in collaboration with author Krikor Beledian and published by , which is on display during the exhibition.

We are happy to share that the donations from the bonfire were directed to providing food and hygiene essentials at a free community dinner for Artsakh refugees.

Thank you to and the rest of the team for the important work you’re doing and for sharing these photos with us! We look forward to getting together again and continuing the work of helping provide aid to the displaced families of Artsakh. 🇦🇲♥️
