Wikipedia definition
2. Eternal flame​An eternal flame is a flame, lamp or torch that burns continuously for an indefinite period. An iconic example, the flame that burned at Delphi, was in fact an archaic feature "alien to the ordinary Greek temple". Nevertheless, there were many contemporary examples common to such surrounding peoples as the Persians and the Israelites. The eternal fire is a long-held tradition in many cultures and religions.
