The Blessed Fire came down in Jerusalem

In the temple of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, a fertile fire caught fire, RIA Novosti reports.

By tradition, fire came down during the prayer of the Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilus, after which he was transferred to the pilgrims, including the delegation of the Foundation Andrei First -Called, which will deliver fire to Moscow sacred for the Orthodox believers. The plane will land with him in the capital at 22:30 Moscow time, and already at 23:00 he must arrive in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, where Easter service will be held.

The annual descent of the Blessed Fire on the eve of Easter among Orthodox Christians is considered a miracle symbolizing the Resurrection of Christ.
