THE SACRED FIRE CEREMONY IN HISTORICAL CORONA TIMES

The Sabbath of Light - the sacred fire ceremony of the Eastern Churches - this year without the crowds crowding the church. The sacred fire was taken out of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.
 

The ceremony typically draws tens of thousands of worshippers to an imposing grey aedicule in the Holy Sepulcher that is believed to contain the tomb where Jesus lay two thousand years ago.
 

After the sacred fire is led, the fire is spread within minutes out of the church to Jaffa gate. From there by taxis to the Ben Gurion Airport to the Eastern churches communities around the globe.
