The Holy Fire descended in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Channel One, Russia-1, NTV and Spas TV channels are broadcasting live from the temple.
The Holy Fire symbolizes the light of the Resurrection of Christ, believers consider it a shrine. The Fire descends in Kuvuklia - a chapel in the centre of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, hiding the cave of the Holy Sepulcher, where there is a slab especially revered by all Christians, under which the burial place of Jesus Christ was located. The Holy Fire is called a miracle.
The Russian delegation has already received fire, now the delegates are heading to Ben Gurion Airport to deliver it to Russia.
