After the prayers of the Armenian and Greek clergy in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, lamps with the Holy Fire were brought out.
This year the ceremony of ascending the Holy Fire takes place without the participation of pilgrims and believers. Only clerics and police are present.
A litany will take place in Jerusalem tonight - a special prayer service led by the Jerusalem Patriarch, and the liturgy of the Resurrection of Christ will be served tomorrow morning.
