Title: HOLY FIRE CEREMONY
Caption: Thousands of pilgrims hold candles as they surround the "Edicule," or empty tomb where, it is believed Jesus was buried, inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem Saturday, April 10, 1999, during the Christian Orthodox ceremony of the Holy Fire, which celebrates Christ's resurrection. The pilgrims wait outside the tomb for hours until the Patriarchs open the doors, carrying the holy flame which is then used to light all the other candles. (AP Photo/Ruth Fremson)
