Holy Light, the great miracle of Orthodoxy

[marykfilms]

I put my hand in the Holy Light; It just felt warm. I did the same thing with a regular candle and it almost cooked my skin. Please see my Orthodox video promotions on youtube under 'marykfilms.'

[AlmondWillow]

For those that say it's Phosphorus....Let's say it is phosphorus. Since when does phosphorus that's on fire float ? (and no, I doubt think they use anti-gravity -_-)

[godgirlsguitars]

this is good evidence of a miracle. But miracles I love is when a sinner comes to Jesus, Somebody get's healed of sickness, and demons are casted out of possessed people. those are the best miracles.

[jaguar4u2012]

HELL FIRE, DARK FIRE!

[tlages]

So let me get this straight: We are to take their word that the tomb is checked completely, but we aren't allowed to go inside? We are to take their word that they searched the patriarch, but we aren't allowed to watch? We are to take their word that the fire is lit by god but we aren't allowed into the tomb to witness this? There is no explanation for how the candle is lit because NOBODY BESIDES ONE OLD MAN WATCHES IT! HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND?

[Moonchild091]

@tlages only ppl who dont have faith and dont believe will say such a bs like urself ...this has happened thu centuries dont tell me they had science in the 1st century ? lol ur noob

[tlages]

@Moonchild091 And you wonder why we think people like you are incredibly stupid. It's track record does not led at all to its credibility, because phosphorous has been know to spontaneous ignite since 4 century BC in China.

[Moonchild091]

@tlages I am stupid? Dude, only faithless and unbelievers can say that this is scam. If u dont believe me go and see it for urself cuz I HAVE SEEN IT with my own eyes even before i saw it i believed it...ORTHODXY is the truth. Ur stupid cuz u dont know that Phosphorus would leave burns and this fire DOES NOT! So if u want to to talk shit to me 1st u need to educate ur self then to talk to me!

[tlages]

@Moonchild091 Dude... just stop. First off, your post seems to be written by a 10 year old. Second phosphorous is the catalyst for the reaction. As you probably are unaware of or at least do not want to hear, your "miracle" is easily debunked by logic and chemistry. 1 Nobody holds the fire on themselves for an extended period of time. 2. The initial candle lights the other ones. The phosphorous isn't transferred and thus no burns. So if you want to be a better retard, educate yourself first.

[SAOTUBE]

the pope probably hides a lighter up his butt

[ckouf]

@streche2000 u are 100% right! Jesus wants everyone to see orthodoxy is the way to go!!

[streche2000]

even they see they don't want to see it is only religion of all where the holly light come straith from holly spirit an light the candle of the bishop and also who is real christian his candle light itself if you don't beleve it just go there so you can see with your own eye there is not a way to god withouth jesus and ortodoxy beleve it

Orthodoxy is the true church of jesus.

[Tarnaggy]

It's a trick. Get over it.

[oviatb]

@Tarnaggy of course it's a cheap trick :)

how else would religion keep it's influence?!

[SevenTableTimes]

Holy Fire,

In the soul, on Pascha,

Is only the beginning.

Cleansing, in the deep.

For then the Holy Archangel of God comes,

Before the Messiah Himself.

Holy God, Holy Strong, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on Your People"

HALLELULYAH and Amen.

[roidos13]

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?

Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?

Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?

Then why call him God?

[TRINITYisLOVE]

There is a story about a rabby who was asked where was God when jews and other innocent people were beaten, suffereded unjustice and had to die in the Lagers of the Nazis. He answered: "God was in that very place, it was he, who was beaten. The cross points it out very deeply: God humbled himself and carried our sufference, in order that that sufference could get a sense, when it become a donation of love. The allmighty of God is an allmighty of love.

[skasmosAE]

yeah right!!god "was" there for sure and 6 million jews had to be murdered!!!!nice god!!!!!!imagine how many thousands of jewish kids lost their lives in the concentration camps!!!!fuck god!!!!!!!

[ChaosMaster7]

@TRINITYisLOVE Fuck GOD

[spikats]

He wants you free.If you follow you are safe.Angels are free and they follow him.Their will is perminent. Ours isn't.

[BlinkxD27]

if you have read the Bible you would know why we call him God and you would know why i call your comment ignorant

[drummerhellas]

God knows everything in this world or other spiritual worlds! We cant judge God because we know nothing! We live in this 3D world for 100 years max. God is eternal... existed before the past and after the future... He is now, before and after at the same time! Consider this and you will feel how small we are!!! God bless you!

[cygroltd]

Anybody believing in the Holly Light is an idiot or extremely naive.

These are charlatan tricks to impress and control the Christian Sheep.

Religion is the opium of the peoples.

Fuck the church

[DarknessDescends86]

ROW ROW FIGHT THA POWAH.

When you have a scientific explanation of what occurs in the Holy Sepulchre then let me know my friend. :)

[BlinkxD27]

haha when you have a scientific explanation for how life came to exist without God let me know

[dandvd]

@BlinkxD27 The explanation is at talkorigins period org

[Iliofos]

I have a secret love and everyone calls my love a prostitute and my love is Christianity and I proudly and faithfully shout. CHRIST IS RISEN. How can I describe the miracle of the holy love which burns in my heart and makes my eyes burn from love and my heart fly in heaven and back in an instant. Turn my brothers your attention to Christ's Love and don't waste your time with egoism and fraud.

[spikats]

Does Fosforus have such a soft light?

who runs with it in the crowd?

Doesnt white fosforus make terrible burns?(Like in palestine recently? Or in Irak?)

[Mitrovicbokiboris]

Julian calendar

[freedom260]

When does this happen? on easter according to Julian calendar or Gregorian? Peace

[BakinKoljac]

theres a date on the video...julian easter :)

[professionalwid0w]

I read somewhere that they prove this to be a sham. That they use white phosphorus to light the fire, is this true???? i sure hope not

[efthimios]

True, phosphorus can do this.. But people that have been there have actually seen a ball of fire actually jump and ignite the candles in the church.

[magdalenasibley]

Phosphorus again can do this but the burns would tell the tale. No this is not a sham. They try and prove that it is every year. Israeli guards search thoroughly to make sure that there is no way this could happen and yet every year it does. So far this cannot be explained by science. Christ is Risen! Indeed He is risen!

[dandvd]

@magdalenasibley It's St. Elm's fire. Science has explained this long ago.

Plus, you can put your hand in the middle of any random candle flame, and it won't burn. Only the tip of the flame burns.

[Orthodoxy1054]

@dandvd really? I'd love to see you get your hand scorched doing that

[tlages]

@magdalenasibley ... and the old guy can't have a lighter up his ass? Do they strip search him? To be completely honest Israeli guards searching a holy sight/old man is not quite the burden of proof necessary to declare a miracle. You need something that is completely unexplained by science.

[cosmauze]

Pope Jean II became muslim. He was a good heart and Alhamdulillah, GrandSheik Maulana Abdullah al Faiz Daghestani QAS made him convert to Islaam.

Το πραγματικό θαύμα είναι το πόσο γρήγορα γεμίζουν τα παγκάρια και οι τσέπες των αράβων εμπόρων πέριξ του ναού της Αναστάσεως και των εβραίων ξενοδόχων από τα ευσεβή ποίμνια που καταφτάνουν από την Ελλάδα...

[kallassnikov]

The pope sold catholicism kissing the Qur'an.

How could that be possible ? He kissed a book that deny Jesus Christ divinity and Jesus Christ resurrection, the foundation of christian faith.

Can anything be worse than this ?

[zebrasw7]

yeah, screw the pope. its all about the orthodox.

[jimun15]

respond to Kallassnikov:

hey body m a catholic and i believe in this holy fire bur i say m a christian 1st and u remind me of the jews who where arguing with jesus because he did not what they expect how would it be with jean paule 2 over an american tank would that be a good christian?

[mardimitriou]

Great miracle indeed.

[LNE78poi]

For all ignorant smart-asses (usually americans):

The keys to the Holy Sepulchre are held by muslims, and muslim guards are searching the priest and the tomb before he enters to recieve the light. Search yourselves why, the story is interesting.

Many hypotheses have been made about the light being a fraud, no one proved, plus the fact that the muslims never find anything. Wouldn't they like to prove christianity wrong? What do you think?

How do you explain that?

[Blackthorn2323]

you mean Israeli guards don`t you?

And of course it's not true you moron, i'm orthodox myself, why are we orthodox blessed with this ad the catholic Easter is not? Only christian orthodox with a certain calendar go to heaven? And the source of any light can be identified in this day and age, if it was from God we could tell by watching that light through a prism. Ask a high school teacher ...

[LNE78poi]

What a procrastinator! Read again what I wrote, and read again what you did. Did I say that it is necessarily true? Did I say it's not? or that other religions suck, helloooo??? all I'm saying is that there's a whole tradition about it extending beyond a single religion or church. Thus MAYBE, it's the tradition itself that is more important in here, because it is a point of unity for many churches and religions. Who said all those crap who u just said? :p read again, fellow orthodox.

[AlexTrebucq]

Alithos aneste! He is risen indeed! Enwir adgyfodiodd!

[OlgaAth]

Χριστός Ανέστη!!!

[gorivatra]

Happy easter everyone!!!From ortodox people of SERBIA!!! God bless you all ortodox people around the world.KOSOVO IS SERBIA!!!!

[Gaetumrex]

Anyone who isn't an orthodox should keep it down for themselves; every year along the patriarch of the orthodox there are a jew a muslim and catholic to witness the miracle so they would know its true and not some scheme.

[mihankhah]

The Orthodox Church is the only Church that has remained true to the Canons, the Apostolic Tradition of the Church Fathers and the Seven Ecumenical Councils. This miracle further validates the fact that the Orthodox Church is the True Church.

[zebrasw7]

right on!

screw the catholics.

[magdalenasibley]

Sorry but this is not edifying behavior. Even if by us, the Orthodox, they have some things wrong they still believe in Jesus Christ. Who are we to judge? Only God has that right and how would you feel if someone wrote that about our religion?

[loopsterman]

I here that you can only use the candles that the church gives out? is that true? can you bring your own candles and get the holy light and if yes, will it burn you?

[stylianosm]

Of course you can bring your own candles.

[zebrasw7]

stop being a sceptic.

[claudiabozdoc]

This is realy a miracle... Like the saint water.. The eretic religion put salt in the water to resist a long time.. bu only at the orthodox the water is pure after years and years.. this has medical proves too...

[NBg45]

I really cant understand why you coment this when u are not even ortodox?just go to your vatican and relax dude they dont have holy fire so u can be calm:))

[a1n2t3o4n5i6o]

God exists whether or not you believe in his miracles. You cannot see your mind(not brain) but you know it exists don't you!

[xoKalistaxo]

first of all a person cannot run through the church with a torch it is way to crowded to get around that fast and second of all this miracle has been going on for centuries. Many tourists come to see this miracle and believe in the true religon orthodoxy.

[jtjtjtjt222]

chech the 'holy light-Αγιο Φωs' video on the right, the 2nd one in the 'related videos' sections to see it yourself. Moreover, tourists and the crowd do not witness the miracle, because the holy fire supposedly appears in a small private room where only the highest of priests have access, then it is distributed to the crowd

[dishwasherman83]

Think that miracle was not only meant for the Orthodox Christians (bless them) but also for the other Christians and the whole world to know that Christ can do things beyond our carnal minds can think. Surely he has been resurrected!

[jtjtjtjt222]

reserected?yeah ofcourse he has been, sure!...u know about every religion in the world has myth about its god(s) doing thinks our carnal minds can think, and that not a reason to believe that someone is god u know, anyway no offense

[Toolmusik]

i can hold my hand over any flame for 6 seconds too, you know.

[xoKalistaxo]

yes but this flame you can put your hand over it for more than 15 minutes and not get burnt

[SWSimpson]

That is a lie. There is no video of anyone holding their hand in the flame for 15 minutes. I have seen many of the videos and anyone can do what they are doing with any flame. People have to SEE a miracle to believe... stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Danielebaihe]

Aren't 15 minutes but you can see that the flame doesn't burn.

[NBg45]

well if u are soo frustrated and angry just dont bother other people go in piese.god said that for some people moses him self woldnt be enough proof to believe.who has faith he will be able to see this ,who dont ,he is not chosen from god

[SWSimpson]

the word is "peace" and intelligent people cannot sit by while others are fooled by such ridiculous things as this. You are sheep being led astray.

[piratebaby3]

ok, so i was at a greek orthodox christian camp last week, anyone heard of fanari? and we were talking abou the holy light in one of our classes. i almost started crying, its so amazing. it doesnt burn u, and those bright bluish flashing lights arent cameras, thats the holy spirit. if i could do one thing before i die, it would b to see the holy light. btw, im 15 years old, not 30. i strongly believe in my christian faith.

[jtjtjtjt222]

and mr.proskinitis, i am a greek and as far as i know the holy light does not present itself in public but it supposedly emerges out of nowhere in a single room, where only the highest of priests have access. It doesnt take windy walks through the crowd and walks up the stairs...so what exactly did u see except fron the archbishop holding a candle and suggesting 'deute lavete fos' (trsl: come receive light)?

[stylianosm]

Dear jtjtjtjt222, check the group link at the bottom of the *updated* description of the current video.

[jtjtjtjt222]

ok i checked the other videos...unfortunately none seems to give an answer to my questions below...so does the holy light appear in a private room where the archibishop and perhaps the highest of priest have exclusive access? or as the video shows it the holy light 'walks' through the crowd and 'walks' up the stair? p.s. i dont mean to be hostile to your religion and beliefs, i just asking a question.

[prayingmantis2]

the holy will start to light peoples candles by themselves..proof that if even the archbisthop is in a private room, how does it explain all the candles lighting by themselves and the fact tha the holy will not burn you for the first 30 Minutes...truly a miracle...if no one believes, just go to jerusalem and witness it for yourself...

[jtjtjtjt222]

simply stating that this happens is not a proof! why never has this been captured on video? i do not see any candles lighted out of nowhere in those videos. U suggest that the holy light does not burn for 30 minutes (does it take effect on the 31st minute? is the holy spirit watching with a clock on its hand?) yet again all the videos show people who can handle the hgoly light on their skin only for a couple of seconds, i can do that with any kind of light...

[jtjtjtjt222]

and please stop that 'go to jerusalem to see for your self' type of argument, if this miracle indeed happens then it can be captured on video or in some form of media, and all these video claim to have done that, but noone really has.

[prayingmantis2]

Moron...go to jerusalem and witness it for yourself....what more proof do you need to see it in person....videos will not tell you anything....real life miracle will blow your mind...I been there I've seen it..so its true. Go and see it it you don't believe...enough said and get a life!!!!

[jtjtjtjt222]

U got insulted fart? i'm not going to jerusalem and dont care about seeing miracles, all i'm saying is that this video doesnt show what its title says...now ask from god to forgive you for the naughty words u used in you reply...LOSER!

[jtjtjtjt222]

and you are such a liar, every year on the t.v. channels of show the holy light is distributed among the faithful in jerusalem. It is being held on torches held by high priests and everyone else going crazy in order get near the flame and light up their own candles..this is what happens..check the videos as well....have u really been to jerusalem????

[jtjtjtjt222]

well i' was not frustrated till the cristian below called me a 'moron' because this video does really show anything. all i was saying is that this video doesnt show what its title claims. as i wrote below i dont mean to be hostile to your religion and beliefs, i'm just asking a question.

[jtjtjtjt222]

and if its such an evident miracle. which happens everyyear on the same date, why are all the videoz are so fuzzy and unclear....next time show us a better video, cleaner and i might believe that something unexplainable does indeed happens in jerusalem everyyear...but if i am to believe this vid then by the same token i should believe every weird video of ghost, ufos, magic or whatever weird video i can find in the net

[jtjtjtjt222]

where exactly do u see the miracle? why is this not just an object set on fire (e.g. a candle?). this video reminds me of much more convincing (yet prooved fake) ufo videos....

[777Death777]

Nice

[proskinitis]

I went and i saw. It is true!! If you dond belive you can go

[democrazy1987]

I do not believe miracles are about lightening bolts and lights though. I believe a miracle is when God heals you of cancer or rescues your soul, caling you by name. A miracle is when God's holy spirit transforms lives.

[Manoli92]

This truly is a miracle from GOD and it has happened for centuries every year,

research it on the internet!!!!

[Kalliope321]

It truly is a miracle!

[senseofd]

I don't think that the patriarch is a runner!! Come on now! Why can't you see that here is a meracle?

[inkarpathos]

If it was the Patriach, the people would be turning their heads and bodies to face him. Stop making excuses! Open your hearts, and believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

[paratirisi]

This ball of fire is probably the patriarch himself holding 33 lighted candles as he walks through the crowd, in out of focus.

[GeoBlackPro]

See from 17-21sec there is a ball of fire moving from left to right.This is a miracle!

[desferi]

whats the holy light?and what is the miracle here?
