Although Ben Gurion Airport is still closed due to COVID restrictions, Israel will allow several countries to send delegations to receive the Holy Fire that descends in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre every year on Holy Saturday.

“These countries are Cyprus, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Greece, Georgia, Poland, and Kazakhstan,” Sharon Regev, director of the Department of World Religions of the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced at a press conference, reports RIA-Novosti.

According to her, the Foreign Ministry has been preparing for this “for many weeks.” Special emissaries will also deliver the Holy Fire to the Christian communities of Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, she noted.

OrthoChristian earlier reported that about 2,500 faithful will be able to attend the service of the Holy Fire this year, with proof of vaccination. The service will be broadcast live online by the Ukrainian TV channel Inter.

Every year, thousands of pilgrims from throughout the world pour into Jerusalem to experience the Divine miracle. Unfortunately, last year, due to the COVID pandemic, the ceremony was held in an empty church, without the presence of parishioners of pilgrims.

May the blessing of God, of the Holy Sepulchre, and of all the holy places be with those who read this narrative with faith and love; and may they obtain from God the same reward as those who have made the pilgrimage to those holy places. Happy are those who, having seen, believe! Thrice happy are those who have not seen, and yet have believed!

Please, someone, get the Holy Fire to America. We need it more than ever with Socialism is ravaging the country through the efforts of the man who thinks he is president, but who is a puppet for the radical Socialist/Communist left. America needs the blessing of the Holy Fire.
