Holy Fire Descends In Jerusalems Church Of Holy Sepulcher On Orthodox Easter Eve

The Holy Fire has descended in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City of Jerusalem a day prior to Orthodox Easter, a correspondent reported from the scene.

According to the Orthodox tradition, the Holy Fire is a miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Holy Saturday, the day preceding Orthodox Easter, in which a blue light emanates within Jesus Christ's tomb.

 For over ten centuries, the ceremony of the fire's consecration takes place in the Tabernacle, the chapel above the Holy Sepulcher. [Sputnik]
