Abstract
Bosya says the following: For Zul people made candles called ‘a boat of life’. The candlewicks were made from wild grass stalks. Each wick had the same number of grass stalks as the age of the person to whom it was dedicated. Each member of the family had his/her wick. All candlewicks were put together, wrapped in cotton, and stuck into the candle.
