WORSHIPPED

The fire has been worshipped in ancient cultures worldwide. In Greek mythology, Prometheus is said to have stolen fire from heaven. He brought it down to earth for human use. Fire is the spirit of the Sun. It is the purest of all elements on earth. It clears darkness which is the region of the evil spirit. It is always moving upwards. It is compassionate when controlled, but it is merciless in destruction when out of control. Moreover, it is the most human of all elements—it is used in the service of human beings.
