The Holy Fire descended on Holy Saturday, on the eve of Easter, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) in Jerusalem, a TASS correspondent reports.
The descent of the Holy Fire took place in the Cudicule, a chapel in the center of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, hiding the cave of the Holy Sepulchre, where there is a slab, especially revered by all Christians - under it was the burial place of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, no one has been able to unravel the mystery of the descent of the Holy Fire, despite numerous attempts.
The Holy Fire symbolizes light of the Resurrection of Christ; believers consider it a sacred relic.
