The Olympic flame, also known as the Holy Flame, originated from ancient Greek mythology.
Legend. Prometheus, the great god of ancient Greek mythology.
He stole the fire from Zeus and brought it to the world, and once he lived to the world, he could never take it back, so Zeus had to stipulate that he must sacrifice to him before lighting the holy fire. According to this myth, the ancient Olympic Games had to be preceded by a grand ignition ceremony.
Athens, Greece was the first Olympic Games.
The tradition of lighting the flame began in Athens, the first city to host the Olympic Games, and has been carried on by the first cities that have hosted the Olympic Games.
1934 International Olympic Committee.
At the meeting in Athens, it was decided to rush to the 11th Olympic Games.
Initially, the main stadium burned the Olympian flame, and the flame had to be taken from Olympia, so Athens, Greece became the ignition point of the Olympia flame.
Extended Material: Before the ancient Olympic Games, people gathered in front of the temple of Zeus at Olympia in accordance with religious rules for a solemn ceremony, lighting a torch from the altar, and then heading to the Greek city-states. The torchbearers held the torch aloft and ran and shouted:
Stop all wars and join the Games! "The torch is like a strict order, with supreme power, and when the torch arrives, the flame of war will be extinguished.

Olympia in Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
As early as the ancient Olympic Games, the race with a torch was an indispensable part of the Greek sacrificial rituals. In 1934, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Athens decided to resume the ceremony of the ancient Olympic flame. Since then, the Olympic flame has been lit in the main stadium of the host city during each Olympic Games, from the opening date to the closing ceremony.

The Olympic torch is all about light, peace, friendship and unity. The Olympic Torch Relay, also known as the "Olympic Torch Relay", is a ceremony held at every Olympic Games, representing a strong connection between the ancient Olympic Games and the modern Olympic Movement, and is the most important communication tool after the Olympic Games themselves.
Introduction to the Olympic torch.
The Olympic Torch Ceremony originated from the story of Prometheus stealing the flame for mankind in Greek mythology, and has a history of more than 2,700 years. According to legend, Mount Olympia in ancient Greece was the habitat of the gods, and the local people worshiped the gods every four years in order to pray for good weather and abundant crops.
The "Torch Relay" event was held at the Games and began with the 11th Olympic Games held in Berlin, Germany. At that time, German long-distance runners went to Olympia, Greece, to light the torch, and one by one carried the torch to the Berlin sports grounds.
The Berlin 1936 Olympic Games were the first to take place with the torch lighting ceremony and torch relay. The priestess handed the collected flame and the wreath of wild olive branches to the first torchbearer, who had to kneel down to receive it. The priestess resigned after reciting the verses of the famous Greek poet Pindar, and the torch relay began.

The origin of the Olympic torch is as follows:
In 1912, Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, formally proposed to light the flame at the Olympic Games, hoping to convey the Olympic spirit and friendship through this form, which was later implemented at the 9th Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928.
In 1934, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athens officially implemented the above plan, requiring that the flame of the Olympic flame must be taken from the ancient Greek Olympic site, the altar of the Temple of Olympia, and then transmitted to the host country through the torch relay, so as to symbolize the inheritance of the Olympic spirit.
As a result, both the relay and the lighting of the flame convey the host country's yearning for the Olympic Games and their determination to host them. Since then, the relay of the flame has required the flame to arrive at the venue of the opening ceremony the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the cities it travels, the way it is relayed, the time it travels, and the distance it travels are all carried out in an orderly manner under the careful design of the Olympic Organizing Committee.
According to legend, the origin of the Olympic torch comes from Greek mythology, when Prometheus took the flame from the heavenly realm and sent it to the world. It is recorded that the torch was conceived by the political pact of the Holy Truce in ancient Greece, when messengers of peace traveled throughout Greece and declared the cessation of all hostilities during the Olympic Games. And the first use of the torch is believed to have been at the Games in 776 BC.
The blazing ashes are kept in the sanctuary of the hearth goddess Hesti, and every four years the ashes are rekindled into flames by the nation's best athletes.
In these ancient legends, the Olympic flame and the Olympic torch have become a unique symbol of the common pursuit of world peace and the highest level of sport by people of different countries, languages, beliefs and races.
