(ATR) The 2016 Paralympic Torch Relay continues its 155 mile trek across every region of Brazil, each flame symbolizing a different Paralympic Value.
The relay began in the city of Brasilia with its flame symbolizing Equality. During the week the torch passed through the cities of Natal, Joinville and Sao Paulo.
Today, the two-day ceremony in Rio de Janeiro with 360 torchbearers will begin at the Museum of Tomorrow. Flames from every city will unite there to form the Paralympic Flame.
The relay will make its final stop at the Olympic Cauldron at the Maracana Stadium to begin the 2016 Paralympics on Sep. 7.
The flame will stay lit at the Candelaria cauldron at Rio’s Centre through the duration of the Games.
