Holy Fire

The Holy Fire is believed by Orthodox Christians to be miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem every Easter sunday. It begins at noon when the Orthodox Patriarch or another Orthodox Archbishop recites a specific prayer. The congregants will then chant "Lord, have mercy" (Kyrie eleison in Greek) until the Holy Fire lights on a lamp of olive oil. The Patriarch/Archbishop will then recite some prayers and light 33 candles and distribute them to the congregants. The fire also spreads to other unlit lamps around the church.
