In Orthodox Christian belief, the Holy Fire (Greek: Ἃγιον Φῶς, "Holy Light", armenian "Սուրբ Լոյս") is a proposed miracle that occurs every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Great Saturday, the day before Orthodox Easter. However, the authenticity of the miracle has long been disputed.
A blue light is believed to emit from Jesus' tomb, forming a column of fire from which candles are lit. The Holy Fire is then used to light candles of the clergy and pilgrims present. The tradition dates back to at least 328 AD, as mentioned by historian Eusebius, and is celebrated by Orthodox Christians from various countries.
The Holy Fire has faced criticism and opposition throughout history, with some accusing it of being a fraud. Various Greek Orthodox clergy members have admitted to igniting the Holy Fire using non-miraculous means, while others claim that the tradition was invented by Catholic crusaders and continued by the Greek Orthodox Church. Despite the controversy, the Holy Fire continues to be an important religious event for many Orthodox Christians.
