26th June each year marks the United Nations (UN) International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Many displaced people are survivors of torture.

Nowadays, unfortunately, we have less and less opportunity to spend time at a real open fire. A lighted candle is a good echo of the fire in this time of increasing restrictions on open fires.
