Snowchief kneels, dressed in the White of the
High Priestess.She wears a pink ribbon to remind everybody that the 2008 Equinics is about caring and giving and charity. She utters a short prayer to Apollo. Her fingers tremble slightly as they clasp
the torch,
waiting for the sun's rays to catch the reflection from the parabolic mirror to give birth to
the 'Fire from the Sky". |
 |
Gasps are heard as the Fire shoots from the Sky onto the Torch held in Snowchief's grasp.
Snowchief smiles and holds the flame up, offering it to the Gods.
|
| She carefully places the flame into the cauldron and the solemn processional pass through the crypt door. Two youths, holding olive
branches lead them to the center while the haunting music of the flute serenades the expectant crowd.
