The Olympic flame is lit on Mount Olympus during a traditional ceremony that takes place at the Temple of Hera. A high priestess uses a concave mirror to focus sunlight onto a torch, igniting it. This symbolic act represents the ancient Greek origins of the Olympics and the connection to the gods. The flame is then carried to the host city of the upcoming Olympic Games, symbolizing the spirit of peace and unity.
