So, doesn't look like a "Miracle" at all, just some sort of "trick" that is done annually to bring in the crowds.
The problem with this sort of thing is, if it happened like they say it does:
From the above, turns out it's just a trick to deceive gullible people into believing

Quote:In his book, the journalist Dimitris Alikakos presents an interview with the skeuophylax Archbishop Isidoros of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, in which the former admits that the "Sleepless Candle", which himself puts into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during the morning of the Holy Saturday, is ignited by him with a lighter[1]:75[30][31].
The former (1984-1988) skeuophylax Archbishop Nikiforos makes the same acknowledgement, except that he was using matches[1]:89
In the same book, Archbishop Gerason Theofanis states that the Holy Fire does not light up in a miraculous, but in a natural way, and it is then blessed by the Patriarch. He adds: "we deceive the believers letting them believe that it is a miracle. This is unacceptable, and does not reflect well on us"[1]:86.
In addition, the Metropolitan Bishop Kornilios of Petras, surrogate of the Jerusalem Patriarchate in 2001, confirmed an older interview, saying that he also had ignited the candles of the Holy Fire with a natural candle, and he described in full detail what he saw when he entered the Church of the Holy Sepulchre[1]:101-106. Lastly, in his book, the journalist mentions the chronicle of the deletion of the word "miracle" from the official website of the Patriarchate in 23/6/2018, with the commandment of the Patriarch Theofilos III[1]:29-47.
So, doesn't look like a "Miracle" at all, just some sort of "trick" that is done annually to bring in the crowds.
The problem with this sort of thing is, if it happened like they say it does:
Quote:During this time, blue light is said to emit within Jesus Christ's tomb, rising from the marble slab covering the stone bed believed to be that upon which Jesus' body is believed to have been placed for burial. The marble slab is now in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem. The light is believed to form a column of fire, from which candles are lit.That would be NUTS to capture on film, which is something we've had for some times now. People could claim it was faked, but live video from various sources would be a great way to confirm if it happened.
From the above, turns out it's just a trick to deceive gullible people into believing
