Jerusalem. Holy Fire has descended on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem has handed it to the people who gathered in the temple, RIA Novosti reported.
The Holy Fire symbolises the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which Saint Peter referred to, and is believed to be a sacred thing for believers.
Its appearance on the eve of Easter with the prayers of the Patriarch, clergymen, and thousands of believers is called a “miracle of descent of the Holy Fire”.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
