Published in Daily Trivia
Fire walking is a religious ceremony practiced in many parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent, Malaya, Japan, China, Fiji Islands, Tahiti, Society Islands, New Zealand, Mauritius, Bulgaria, and Spain. It was also practiced in classical Greece and in ancient India and China. The most common practice is of walking swiftly over a layer of embers spread thinly along the bottom of a shallow trench. Sometimes the devotees or priests walk through a blazing log fire. Instead of embers from a wood fire, in Fiji and Mauritius there may be red-hot stones, or embers may be poured over the devotee's head in a "fire bath."
