This is awe full reporting. 1) the RC dont get the fire, the Orthodox church does! 2) when the RC tried, they couldent do it. 3) not even the coptic orthodox (not in communion with original orthodox) can do it.
@5692Nate21 I'm not aware of an attempt by Latins to receive the Holy Fire. The Armenians tried to exclude the Orthodox one year & were unsuccessful (by a miracle) to receive the Holy Fire alone.
Where did you get this info about the Coptic church from? Note that the main Sepulchre in within the Greek Orthodox area of the church. It is noted in the Coptic Synaxarium that a Coptic Patriarch attended with the Greek Patriarch inside years ago even after the schism. We should not divide ourselves as Christians, but unite in Christ.
apparently the holy fire appears every year to the orthodox calander how ever ther will be a year were the both catholic and orthodoz easter are on the same day
I've never been to the Holy Land, so I cannot give a firsthand witness. I've just heart from reliable Orthodox Christian sources that the light appears spontaneously, and it will not burn you if you pass your hand across it or if the flame touches your clothing. Truly a miracle!!! Christos Anesti!
The Holy fire only happens on Orthodox Pascha, a historical fact attested to by many witnesses and does not occur on Roman Catholic Easter, it just happens to coincide this year :-)
Yes, there is room to confuse the issue by even mentioning the Roman Catholic service (since Resurrection Sunday, Paskha, happens the same day as Western Easter this year) preceding the Rite of the Holy Fire.
The Miracle of the Holy Fire which comes always with the Orthodox service only, in the holy Sepulchre, where there is no lightes or other lighting instrument ...
Reuters, unsurprisingly, truncated the miracle and explained it in such a fashion so as to make it look like a dumb parlor trick. No footage of people's candles self-igniting, no one sticking their face in the flames, no mention of the pat down received by the men who enter the tomb. Shame.

Very poor reporting... combining Roman Catholics, not exposing the true nature of the Holy Fire!

The Holy Fire does not singe the hands or beards for 33 minutes. Please report the miraculous nature of the fire.

This is an amazing special year. Eastern and Western Easter/Pascha occurs on the same Sunday. Unusual.

Starts out with RC stuff, nothing to do with Pascha. Then narrator makes numerous mistakes. Not clear if this is new or old video.
