Israel - Jerusalem - Easter at the Holy Sepulchre

Pilgrim receiving the Holy Fire during Easter celebrations in the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, Israel. Within the Orthodox tradition the Holy Fire is a miracle that happens on the day preceeding Orthodox Easter, in which a blue light emanates within Christ's tomb rising from the stone upon which Jesus's body was reputedly placed before burial. The blue light becomes a column of fire from which candles are lit.
