Palestinian Christians from the Greek Orthodox Church chant and sing in the streets with candles and crosses during the Easter Holy Fire ritual in the Old City of Jerusalem on April 14, 2012. during the 'Holy Fire' ceremony on the eve of the Orthodox Easter. Believers hold that the fire is miraculously sent from heaven to ignite candles held by the Greek Orthodox patriarch in an annual rite dating back to the 4th century that symbolises the resurrection of Jesus.
