Recall, on January 21st, on the territory of the Lena Pillars National Park in Yakutia, in the homeland of the Games, a solemn ceremony of lighting the Fire of 2nd Winter Children of Asia International Sports Games was held. In a sacred place for the all-Sakha people, a ritual part was held: the elder lit the fire in the ancient way - with stones from the Lena Pillars. He consecrated and blessed the fire, and then, as a sign of the purity of his soul and thoughts, he gave it to the child. On January 22nd, the Torch relay started in the city of Yakutsk.
