Sacred Fire Legend of the Natchez Temple Fire
The Natchez kept an eternal temple fire believed crucial to royal lineage. A guardian’s sleep led to relighting with profane flames, triggering four years of plague and the deaths of nine Great Suns. The culprit’s confession saved the nation when a second temple flame was rekindled from the sacred fire, ending the calamity. News: New Orleans Picayune.
