[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Sech

[Steven Boozer]

No idea.  IIRC the Torch was mentioned in passing in the DS9 episode "The Sword of Kahless".  Checking the Memory Alpha and Beta sites turned up:

  The Torch of G'boj is a highly esteemed icon from Klingon history that
  is as nearly revered as such legendary items as the Sword of Kahless,
  Sabak's armor, and the Emperor's Crown. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")

See also the Temple of G'boj (whatever that is):

  The Temple of G'boj is a loction on Qo'noS. (ST reference: Star Charts)
  The Temple of G'boj was listed as a place of interest and no other 
  information was given.  There is likely a link to the Torch of G'boj.
