✨ The Memory

 


In the centuries after the poet Hafez filled Persia with verses of love and longing, the city of Shiraz remains a place where words, moonlight, and devotion meet. On the night of Yalda—the longest night of winter—families gather in softly glowing courtyards to read his ghazals, believing they carry guidance for the heart.


Lanterns flicker against carved wooden latticework. Incense curls upward like a whispered prayer. And at the center of the celebration rests a bowl of deep-red pomegranates, split open to reveal glittering ruby seeds. Guests savor them slowly—sweet, tart, lush—symbols of passion, protection, and the promise of returning light.


Warm spices rise from a glowing brazier. Soft laughter drifts through the courtyard. A line of Hafez is read aloud, carrying through the still winter air.

Juicy red pomegranates sparkle like rubies in moonlight.

Enticing. Fiery. Seductive.
