Orthodox Christians celebrate Holy Fire ceremony
STORY: After hours of anticipation, people were able to light their candles from the little round windows in the tomb of Jesus in the Holy Sepulchre Church. Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III handed worshippers the fire from inside the tomb in a mysterious act considered an annual Holy miracle before Orthodox Easter Sunday (May 5).
Pilgrims chanted excitedly as they passed on the fire to others.
Outside, several police barricades were set throughout the streets of the Old City.
