Now the officials and VIP will proceed to the Temple of Hera. Numerous relics, including a statue of Nike, the Temple of Hera and Hermes of Praxiteles, are located in the sanctuary of Olympia.
Now the priestesses are arriving for the lighting of the flame.
One of the top actresses in Greece, Maria Nafpliotou, has one of the key roles in the ceremony as High Priestess.
The sun's rays and sunshine are an active part of the ceremony. Six priests will perform a dance choreographed especially for this ceremony.
There are 22 priestesses and most of them are students. They've dedicated about 20 hours a week to rehearse this dance that you're seeing now. There will be speaking parts for the actresses as well later.
The High Priestess prays to Apollo, god of the sun, to send his rays for the Olympic torch.
The High Priestess uses the parabolic mirror to collect the rays of the sun and successfully create a flame. The flame will never go out for the entire length of the relay, as the original flame created here in Olympia will travel with the torch throughout its journey.
The ceremony continues before the first torchbearer receives the flame.
Now a young priestess holds an olive branch.
The High Priestess and priestesses enter the stadium with the Olympic Flame.
Now, the performance of the six priests mentioned earlier. Each priest holds an olive branch. The dance symbolizes sports performed in the ancient Olympic Games.
