Every year, Christians all over the world celebrate a great holiday – the Resurrection of Christ. The closer the festive day, the more disputes arise about the miraculous occurrence of the Holy Fire. Ardent atheists believe that this is a fraud. Believers and eyewitnesses are convinced of the true miracle of the Lord. Who's right?

“I went inside the Holy Sepulcher of the Lord, seeing on the whole lid of the tomb shone light, like scattered small beads, in the form of white, blue, scarlet and other colors, which then copulated, reddened and transformed into the substance of fire ... and from this fire prepared cantilas and candles are lit,” said Archbishop Misayel.

The Convergence of the Holy Fire Today "Site" He'll tell you what it is. mystery of the Holy Fire Why is it not scientifically explained? Christians believe that the fire is due to the prayer of believers and holy fathers, and if the fire does not descend into the temple, the Apocalypse will come.

Many believers, being in the temple on the eve of Easter, on Holy Saturday, talk about inexplicable phenomena after the Patriarch entered the chapel. From the dome of the temple, vertical light falls on the Holy Sepulchre, and at the same time a fire burns in the Sepulchre.

Lampads and candles are lit by themselves, and the Holy Fire does not burn the hands of pilgrims. On the contrary, he heals the sick with his flame. Drops of wax falling from festive candles are called Grace Dew. Traces of them will always remain on the clothes.





But the recent statement of the representative of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, priest Samuel Agoyan, shocked the entire Christian world. In an interview with Hadashot 2 TV channel, he said that he was present at the lighting of the fire in the Edicule of the temple three times. And to light a bunch of candles, the patriarchs always used an oil lamp. “God works miracles, but not for the amusement of people,” he said.





In other words, there is a lighted lamp on the Holy Sepulchre, after prayers we light our candles from it, and then we go out and distribute them to the assembled. That's all I said.”

Turns out there's no mysticism! Today, the descent of the Holy Fire is carried out only by priests of the Jerusalem Orthodox Church, the Jerusalem Patriarchate of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Coptic and Syrian churches. But the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Catholic Church do not officially support the miraculous convergence theory.

The words of the priest were painfully received by believers. Moreover, in 2017, the priest of the UOC-KP Alexander Dedyukhin made a similar statement. He noted that the historical books describe different times when the Holy Fire descended into the temple.

But since 2002 it has been coming down clearly from 14:03 to 14:16. Why? Maybe because at the same time there is a live broadcast on one of the TV channels, which is the only one with the right to broadcast the ceremony of Divine service.

We cannot claim that the skeptics have won over the believers. After all, even physicist Andrei Volkov, who secretly studied the radiation in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Holy Saturday, said:

An instrument recording the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation detected a strange long-wave pulse in the temple, which no longer manifested itself. I do not want to refute or prove anything, but this is the scientific result of the experiment. There was an electric discharge - either struck by lightning, or for a moment turned on something like a piezo lighter. It is likely that the fire is preceded by an electrical discharge, and we, measuring the electromagnetic spectrum in the temple, tried to catch it.





It is difficult to talk about faith, church, religion and science together. One thing is clear: God’s plan cannot be squeezed into mathematical formulas. And we, believers and not so much, should remember God not only in case of misfortune. There are times when it seems that only prayer will help find a way out of a hopeless situation. That's right.

In order for the body to live, food is necessary. But for the soul, prayer is more important, which will help open the heart to faith, calm and protect from adversity.
