fire sacrifice
Flames consuming tribute
Fire sacrifice is a religious ritual in which offerings—animals, grain, or other substances—are burned as gifts to gods or spirits.
The fire transforms earthly matter into smoke that rises toward the divine.
Fire sacrifice appears across many traditions, from Vedic rituals to ancient Hebrew burnt offerings.
The priest performed the fire sacrifice at dawn.
