On Saturday, April 23, the Holy Fire descended at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The Holy Fire descended at 2:45 p.m. Kyiv time. Patriarch Theophilus of Jerusalem took it into the world.
The flame was received by 1.5 thousand worshippers, who this year were admitted to the temple. The rest of the pilgrims are waiting on the square in front of the temple doors.
The fire symbolizes the resurrection of Christ. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is built on the site where Jesus Christ was buried.
