The Holy Light (Fire) of Jerusalem 2010


In the midst of great reverence and joy at the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem this afternoon, the annual miracle of the Holy Light once again took place. Later today it will travel on various airplanes to reach various destinations around the world where there are a majority of Orthodox Christians. See photos here and a video here.

    What kind of candles are they using? The flames unusually large.

    They are regular beeswax candles, however they are bundled into 33 candles to symbolize the number of years in Christ's life. Hence the large flame of 33 candles burning together as one.
