The Holy Fire ceremony took place today at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Held annually on Holy Saturday, the ritual marks the Orthodox celebration of Easter. ⁣
⁣
According to tradition, a flame miraculously appears in the tomb of Jesus Christ and is used to light candles, symbolizing the resurrection. ⁣
Thousands of pilgrims gather each year to witness and receive the flame, which is considered one of the most sacred events in the Orthodox Christian calendar.⁣
