The Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic Torch Relay is a ceremonial journey that transports the Olympic flame from Greece, where the tradition originated, to the host city of the Games. It involves a series of relay events where selected torchbearers carry the flame over significant distances, passing it from person to person. This relay symbolizes unity, peace, and the enduring spirit of the Olympics, inspiring communities along the route. The relay often includes cultural events and community participation, culminating in the lighting of the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony, signifying the official start of the Games.
