Torch with Flame

OK, Grove, Headstone Symbols and Meanings, Torch with Flame

TORCH WITH FLAME- A lit torch serves as a guiding light to everlasting life.  The "eternal flames" most often commemorate a person or event of national significance and serves as a symbol of an enduring nature such as a religious belief or commitment to a common goal, such as international peace. The torch and flame was first introduced into our Modern Olympics at the 1928 Amsterdam Games.  Since then, the flame has come to symbolize "the light of spirit, knowledge, and life."
