Jerusalem awaits the Holy Fire  - 1

The Church celebrates Holy Saturday as the most blessed seventh day, when the bodily burial of Jesus Christ is.

The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem is awaiting the descent of the Holy Fire. The whole world is looking at the Holy City today. On Saturday morning in Jerusalem it is quiet - for Jews, Saturday is Shabbat - "rest", writes bTV.

Pilgrims gather in the Holy City from early morning in anticipation of the miracle - the consecration of the Holy Fire, which the entire Christian world is expecting.

Before this, the Holy Sepulcher must be searched for lit candles and a lamp in the temple - on the eve of Holy Saturday they are extinguished. Then the prayers of all believers begin.
