eternal flame
Never-extinguished blaze
An eternal flame is a fire kept burning continuously, usually as a memorial.
Such flames honor the dead or mark sacred sites, symbolizing perpetual remembrance: the eternal flame at Kennedy's grave, the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The phrase also describes enduring love or passion: Their romance was an eternal flame.
