Once again, we've seen it!

The Holy Fire (Greek Ἃγιον Φῶς, "Holy Light") is described by Orthodox Christians as a miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Great Saturday, or Holy Saturday, the day preceding Orthodox Easter. It is considered by Christians to be the longest-attested annual miracle in the Christian world. It has been consecutively documented since 1106 A.D., with previous references being sporadic The ceremony is broadcast live in Georgia, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Lebanon and other Orthodox countries like Egypt. Furthermore, the Holy Fire is brought to certain Orthodox countries, such as in Georgia, Greece, Russia, Belarus, Cyprus, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Macedonia, every year by special flights, being received with honors by state leaders at the respective airports.

I've never heard of it either, but that's one hell of a picture.

Every year a head priest from a specific Christian faction gets in there, prays and when he comes out he holds light that sprang from the cave. Before he gets in he gets thoroughly searched by the priests of the other factions to minimize the possibility of scam (basically they despise each other so theoretically they have motive to reveal a scam).

So, it 's either a miracle or an elaborate trick that 's been surviving for 1000 years :)
 
Thanks for the video but it doesn't really show the 'miracle' happening.. If you find any others post them here :)

Thanks In Advance
