Christendom is preparing to celebrate the Easter holiday. Thousands of believers will gather in the ancient city of Jerusalem, where they will wait for a few hours for the descent of the holy fire.

Security measures are strengthened in the vicinity of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem

After examining by representatives of various confessions in Kuvuklia, where the Savior"s tomb is located, the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem will enter and pray. After the holy fire descends, it will be brought to Bethlehem for the first time, and then spread to all Orthodox countries.
