IOPS will deliver the Holy Fire to Russian perishes in Great Britain for first time


12.04.2017

Thorvaldsson// wikimedia.org The Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society has made a decision to deliver the Holy Fire to the capital of Great Britain and the Orthodox perishes of the country, RIA Novosti informs.

The Youth Section Leader of the Society Maria Korovina has remarked that earlier the Holy Fire has never been delivered to London. She is sure that orthodox believers celebrating Easter at the nearest Sunday will anticipate the flight from Israel on Saturday.

Traditionally the Miraculous Fire will be spread to different cities covered in special lamps. Right after landing in Great Britain, The Holy Fire will arrive at the Uspensky Cathedral of the Surozhsk Eparchy and The Holy Virgin and the Holy Royal Martyrs Dormition Cathedral.

Maria Korovina has remarked with satisfaction that extension of geography and care for the believers from Orthodox countries and states with large Orthodox communities testifies an intention to preserve and multiply spiritual and cultural foundations of the Orthodox beliefs. 

Public figure and sponsor Timofey Musatov will bring The Holy Fire to London symbolizing divine light of Christ’s Resurrection.
