Holy Fire from Church of the Holy Sepulchre arriving to Moscow

Moscow: The Holy Fire that always ignites by its own from the tomb of Jesus Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem will be taken to Moscow also by delegation that came from the St. Andrews foundation. This delegation will be taking the Holy Fire from Jerusalem to Moscow and dozens of Russian cities – from Sevastopol to Yakutsk, in addition to other Orthodox churches abroad, including Rome and Tallinn. A special flight to bring the flame to Moscow will leave from Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, arriving in the Russian capital at 10:30 pm local time.

This Holy Fire has been descending on the church for more than 1,500 years and it is believed that the year in which it doesn’t light will be the last year in the history of man. Thousands of Christians have gathered in Jerusalem to light torches and candles from a holy flame that ‘miraculously’ emerged from the tomb of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on the eve of Orthodox Easter.The fire descends on Jerusalem during a prayer by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and All Palestine, who then passes the flame to pilgrims. The pilgrims light 33 candles –that have all been tied together – from the fire to symbolize every year of Christ’s life.
