О благодатном огне


Однако, вот официальная информация с сайта Иерусалимского Патриархата. В конце текста разъяснение: After this blessing he places a piece of cotton on the Holy Tomb and miraculously it lights up. With it the Patriarch lights the candles and exits the Holy Edicule. The amazing thing is that the holy light for a few minutes does not burn. Namely, if someone touches his hands with the holy light he will not get burnt. Truly this is one of the greatest Miracles of Christianity that repeats every year on Great Saturday*.
