In the Jerusalem Temple of the Holy Sepulchre, the Holy Fire descended.
In the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, a miracle occurred that the whole world was waiting for – the Holy Fire descended. Every year, on the day before Easter, Holy Saturday, believers of different denominations gather here, with people coming from all continents. All this is for the touch of the holy relic – the Holy Fire.
The miracle is preceded by a procession, during which all significant places of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are circled. Believers and clergy also circle the Edicule – a small chapel. It was erected at the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ – the fire descends precisely here. Here, too, lies the stone that was used to seal the entrance to the Tomb of Jesus Christ, and the bed on which the body of the crucified Christ was laid.
The Holy Fire is received by the Patriarch of Jerusalem. Before entering the chapel, he is searched by the police – they confirm that he has nothing with him that could ignite a fire.
In the church, all sources of light are extinguished, an unlit lamp with oil is brought into the Edicule, and 33 candles are placed – corresponding to the number of Christ's earthly years. The Patriarch prays until the fire appears.
A delegation from the Andrei the First-Called Foundation was present in the church from Russia – its members will deliver the holy relic to Moscow by plane, and then the fire will be brought to every Orthodox church in the country.
