What is the meaning of a fireplace?
To understand this, a person has to go back in time, to the time when human beings first conquered fire.
The first encounters may have happened by accident. A surprising lightening strike set the forest ablaze. This may have been how humans first noticed fire. Nobody knows this for sure. Nevertheless, once human beings became aware of fire and learned how to create it, it became the central point of focus for further human development.

Everyone sat around the fire. When houses were possible everyone sat in front of the fireplace. Yes, this blessing makes a home warm in wintertime. In winter, it is great to have a blazing fire. This is the same now as was before for many thousands of years. When a family enjoys wood fireplaces in St. Paul and surrounding areas of the twin cities metro, they follow a tradition that predates them by many centuries.
A fireplace is natural, beautiful, intriguing, provides warmth, light, and comfort. Any home without a fireplace is somehow missing a critical component to make it feel good, especially during the cold winter months.
Heart of the Hearth
It is interesting to notice that heart and hearth are very similar words. It could be said that the heart of a home is the fireplace because it gives the energy to keep all the occupants warm in the cold winter. This explains why the words heart and hearth are so similar.
Chopping Wood
This is terrific exercise in winter. Get outside and chop wood. It is not even that hard to do. Once a person gets into the rhythm of chopping wood, it is fun. Swing the axe high and bring it down to split the wood into good pieces for the fireplace.
Snuggle Up
Once the fire is going well, toast a few marshmallows in the flames, then snuggle up with the loved ones in front of the warming glow. Forget about going to bed alone in separate rooms. Just curl up in a big pile in front of the fire and enjoy how it feels. Kids love this experience. It is like camping, yet in the safety of being indoors at the same time.
The smell of the natural wood burning, the warmth and the glow of the fireplace brings all humans back to ancient memories of when we all first discovered fire and the glory of this discovery.
