Torch

For electric torches, see Flashlight. For other uses, see Torch (disambiguation).

A burning torch, discarded on the road in the wake of the Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations.

A torch is a stick with combustible material at one end which can be used as a light source or to set something on fire.[1] Torches have been used throughout history, and are still used in processions, symbolic and religious events, and in juggling entertainment. In some countries, notably the United Kingdom and Australia, "torch" in modern usage is also the term for a battery-operated portable light.
