c. The Olympic flame is lit at the Temple of Hera before the start of the Olympic Games every four years.
Temple of Hera:
- In Greek Mythology, Hera is the queen of the Greek gods and the wife of Zeus. The Temple of Hera is the oldest temple at Olympia and is respected throughout Greece. The tradition of the Olympic Games started at Olympia in Greece.
- Eleven women are selected as the Vestal Virgins, who perform a celebration at the Temple of Hera. The first torch of the Olympic Torch Relay is kindled here by the rays of the Sun by concentrating it with a parabolic mirror.
- A priestess presents the torch and an olive branch to the first relay torchbearer, who is a Greek athlete, and a dove is released to symbolize peace. The Olympic anthem is sung followed by the national anthem of the hosting country to mark the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay.
