For these reasons, the Greeks maintained consistent fires in front of their principle temples in ancient Greece. This was also the case in the sanctuary of Olympia, where the Ancient Olympic Games took place. The flame was lit using an ancient method where the rays of the sun are reflected in a skaphia, the ancestor of the parabolic mirror used today for lighting the Olympic flame.

The modern Olympic flame is ignited in Olympia at the site where the temple of Hera used to stand, by an actress playing the part of the High Priestess using the same ancient method. It serves as a reminder of how fires were lit on the altars of Greek gods and goddesses to honour them. The purity of the flame is preserved by the method of lighting using the sun's rays.
