For the Faithless - The Proof of the Holy Fire of Jerusalem

Orthodox tradition holds that the Holy Fire happens annually on the day preceding Orthodox Easter, in which a blue light emanates within Jesus Christ’s tomb (usually rising from the marble slab covering the stone where Jesus’ body was placed for burial) now in the Holy Sepulchre, which eventually forms a column containing a form of fire, from which candles are lit, which are then used to light the candles of the clergy and pilgrims in attendance. The fire also spontaneously lights other lamps and candles around the church. Holy Fire does not burn or hurt the Faithful.
