fire worship
Sacred flame devotion
Fire worship is religious or spiritual reverence of fire as sacred, divine, or symbolic of deity.
The practice appears across many traditions, most prominently in Zoroastrianism, where fire represents truth and righteousness.
Fire worshippers maintain sacred flames in temples and perform rituals before them.
The term sometimes carries dismissive connotations when applied by outsiders to unfamiliar religions.
