    Firewalking is ceremoniously used to show one’s physical and spiritual strength and to display courage, inner peace, and faith.

    Often, it is used in other countries to commemorate miracles, take or fulfill vows, or honor the deceased, especially if they are saints or holy individuals.

    Though initially puzzling, scientists say that there are several plausible causes behind the unburned feet of firewalker.

    Some individuals believe that the speed at which the walker passes over the coals is related to their chances of being burned.

    This would mean that those who rush over the coals are less likely to be burned, because they spend less time on the coals than others.

    However, this is not necessarily true, as skilled firewalkers have been known to remain on the coals for upwards of thirty minutes without burns!

    The most plausible scientific reasoning behind how firewalking works is that the way trained firewalkers step on the hot coals temporarily puts the fire out under their feet.

    This would result in heat exposure, but your skin would not become burned or blistered. This would be similar to putting a candle out with your bare fingers without getting burned.

    Because the flame is snuffed out so quickly, you avoid sustaining any injuries.

    Plus, scientists say that your skin is actually a poor conductor of heat, which means direct fire (which is essentially air) wouldn’t burn you as easily as touching something like hot metal.

    Firewalking

    A firewalking festival called Anastenaria revolved around a set of ancient icons that worshippers believe have special powers - to purify, heal and protect.
