good afternoon, dear tv viewers, the ntv television company, channel one, russia-1 and the foundation of the holy all-honorable apostle andrew the first-called, are presenting a live television broadcast of the annual ceremony of the descent of the holy fire. today we are with you: rita borisovna butova, candidate of historical sciences, senior researcher at the institute of russian history academy of sciences.

place of the great saturday, before us is the edicule, the place where our lord jesus christ was buried. we are now inside the temple, the temple, which is called the church of the resurrection of the lord or the church of the holy sepulcher, where this great sacrament took place, the resurrection of the savior, who gave us eternal life. today are special days, they complete the passionate one. week, and the day of great saturday, as it is sung in today’s trapar, a special chant, all human flesh will remain silent, that is, everyone remains in silence in silence, waiting for the resurrection of the savior, in the temple of the lord, where we are now, everyone is waiting for the descent of the blessed fire, a special symbol, a special appearance of the resurrection of christ, as you see,

in moscow, tells us that the patriarch is already a bell, russian a bell cast in descends from the temple of constantine and helena, and soon we will see it, now we already see the kavass who enter the temple.

this year we had an absolutely significant event for the first time since the pandemic .

to the believers in the temple, he is now will enter the cathalikon through a special door, will receive delegations from those churches that had already arrived at the temple shortly before him, will begin to change his clothes, this is a special ceremony of the descent of the blessed fire.

we can now look at the recordings. well , as you can see, at 6:00 in the morning

the armenian quarter opens to the armenian one, representatives of two muslim families come to the representatives of the armenian apostolic church, and...

the status quo is such a whole system of decrees that took shape completely from the middle of the 18th century established in the 19th century, that’s what how the doors of the temple are opened, how they are cleaned, how they respectively enter and leave the temple, how they live and celebrate, all this is part of the status quo system.

is still carried out through the main gate, which is the only symbol, uh, symbol of the jerusalem temple. and in our church there is our colleague, correspondent, journalist, sergei poshkov, who can already give a brief report from the scene. good day, sergey. good afternoon, dear tv viewers. father andrey, hello, rita borisovna, we are broadcasting live from under

vaults of the church of the holy sepulcher, where, as you know, the ceremony of consecration of the holy fire is taking place today, especially for ntv channel one and russia-1 tv channel, now under the vaults of the temple there are many thousands of believing orthodox pilgrims who have come here to jerusalem, from all over the orthodox...

thank you very much, sergey, thank you, and you correctly noted that the broadcast itself is becoming part of the status quo, a certain tradition, this broadcast has been going on for the twenty-first year, thanks. to those companies that implement it, the first channel russia-1,

mtv television company, to whom we thank. well, uh, now we still have to see how representatives of various faiths came, from 8:00 in the morning, they gradually flocked in small groups. has the right to participate in the ceremony of the descent of the holy fire, including participation in

the protection of the service among those shrines that are located in the church of the holy sepulcher. in addition to the syrian church, the optic church and the ethiopian church are also participating, but, of course, the main role will be played by the orthodox church and representatives of the holy armenian apostolic church.

fire. now we see representatives of the syrian community waving flags, and representatives of the armenian church will be in the angel's limit. the limit of the angel, which precedes the very main place where the lodges are located, the burial of the savior, and there he will be, uh, another delegation that traditionally takes part in the convergence is representatives of the coptic church,

well now, yes, now we see. these are just representatives of the coptic, coptic church, who are also taking their place, yeah, yes, here’s another one of our official ones coptic delegation, representatives of the coptic church, according to the status quo, each of the denominations has special responsibilities, special rights, this symbol is the famous immovable staircase, which is located... above the entrance through which the delegation passes now, as we see, of the hoft church , yes, this staircase is indeed a direct symbol of the status quo, it is now located on the territory of the armenian apostolic church, it shows that this part of the facade

is their property, but the reason for where this staircase appeared there... it seemed to be lost in history, and this is also a kind of status quo, as you can see, already in front of the arch of manomakh in the kafalikon there are banners, this means that the patriarch has already changed his clothes and blessed those representatives of the churches who came to him for blessings, and we are expecting, in fact... a leitonia or procession of the cross, which will go around, a patriarchal procession of the cross, which will go around like a glue three times. it is also surprising that representatives of different faiths observe among themselves peace, despite the fact that, of course, various difficulties arise, but nevertheless the status

quo allows everyone to live peacefully, right now... a lamp is being brought out, which will be placed in the edicule and in which the holy fire will be lit, and here we are we see the skivophylax of the church of the resurrection of christ taking out the lamp from the patriarchal sacristy, now it will be brought into the edicule, before the lamp is brought into the edicule.

everything has been checked, white tapes are applied, then a large, large part of the wax will be applied to these tapes. memories of how pontius pilate placed the roman guard in front of the holy sepulcher, a sign that the disciples could not come to steal.

the resurrection of the lord, we see how the keeper of the lamp stands in front of the edicule, its guardian, yes, everyone is waiting for

the patriarch, because without him the descent of the holy fire cannot take place, uh-huh, now they will... show us, i hope they will show views of the temple and those pilgrims who have gathered, this year we have an absolutely wonderful feature, we have a lot of young people in the temple, right very young teenagers, and this cannot but rejoice, because... the armenian, armenian flock, it is not very, it is not very numerous, and since there are more pilgrims, it is surprising that so

many young people come - exactly, perhaps , even children, in some cases, as we see, uh-huh, and of course, holy saturday is a day that attracts people from all over the world, christians. orthodox, first of all, people who especially honor this holiday, which is the most important in orthodox life, liturgical life for every person, and this is a special event, it has already taken place since ancient times, the first evidence of it dates back to the first centuries of the existence of the ancient church, centuries, as was said by church historians and the first pilgrims, who...

the most important participant is the patriarch himself, the patriarch himself, a representative of the oldest church in the world in jerusalem, the mother of the church, patriarch theophilus, of course...

the edicule and uh, ahead of the patriarch will be 12 banner bearers with the kharugovs, well then the wise and spirit-bearing himself and such a prayerful concentrated, although we saw that the patriarch walked with such a very benign smile on his face and entered the temple, i... think that this is his state, it will, of course, persist. of course, it is also surprising that the ceremony of the descent of the holy fire has been preserved throughout different eras, when numerous events took place in the holy land, when the jerusalem temple passed from hand to hand and was even destroyed. however, the

evidence that, as we said. holy fire - kindled on the savior's bed, and then the pilgrims brought, if they were very lucky, they brought the fire itself, and if they were not lucky, then the fire that they received during the descent was extinguished with cotton wool,

this cotton wool laid... in a paper spoon - they brought it to our churches and kept, in general, this year the temple m, on the one hand, of course, sunday in the temple is difficult, since the entire floor is being replaced, with excavations being carried out, and this is absolutely wonderful when the three main confessions, which have the right to make decisions regarding the repair of any changes.

in his film this winter in quite detail, so this is also such a joy for us, the tradition of decorating the shrines of churches, it is very old, and long-standing in russia in other countries, the tradition of gate icons, special offerings that began with the russian tsars with boris grunov, fyodor mikhailovich and this tradition

continues today. this is what lita borisovna said, this decoration on the part of russian pilgrims, those who honor the shrines of the jerusalem temple, it continues now. we will now show a short story dedicated to the gates icons since ancient times in russia, images of jesus christ have been revered and carefully preserved. gate icons occupied a special place in russian culture; they were placed in the courtyards of cities, monasteries, and temples. such icons protected the inhabitants. and blessed the travelers. the spasskaya and nikolskaya towers of the moscow kremlin are named in honor of the gate icons of the savior not made by hands and st. nicholas the wonderworker. during the time of tsar alexei mikhailovich, there was a procession to aslyati through the spassky gate.

thus, on palm sunday, believers reenacted the entry of jesus christ into jerusalem through the golden gates of the holy city. in the minds of believers, the kremlin...

it is especially joyful that in the church of the holy sepulcher there is such a special russian presence associated with the orthodox, pilgrimage traditions of former times. this is the history of the gate icons, it is preserved

now, this is how it was said in the form of lamps, which is located in front of the edicule, in the form of a mosaic, which is located in the temple of the lord. these icons are being reborn in the center of our homeland. in moscow, uh, which, by the way, is evidenced by and, uh, the exhibition, which is being held at the shyusego museum of architecture, is dedicated to gate icons. all this, of course, is part of a huge tradition associated with the special piety of our people, for whom these shrines, as they were, remain, significant and especially valuable. well, in general, among the gifts of the russian imperial house there are quite a lot of icons that decorate the church today on sunday, but pilgrims to the monasteries

brought a lot of shrouds, and there was such a tradition, there were so many shrouds that... they were sent from russia on the holy sepulcher, that during easter they were even hung on the walls of the monastery. now we have been shown the new, recently appointed head of the russian spiritual mission in jerusalem, archimandrite vasian, who is vested, and this means that he will participate in the procession together with the patriarch, for us this is.

procession of the cross and any minute the procession will begin, now we see just one of the regular participants from the arab youth in the ceremony of the descent of the holy fire, they have surprisingly huge candles, in fact they are no longer young people, but nevertheless

, they include the main shrines, because in addition to the temple, the holy sepulcher, the status quo concerns the basilica of the nativity in bethlehem and the chapel of the ascension, although it belongs to muslims, it is also part of the status quo and the tomb the dormition of the blessed virgin mary, and even non-christian holy places are also regulated by status.

that the patriarch, that his clothes are

white, and our priests will only change their clothes today during the liturgy, and they have already changed their clothes during the great liturgy saturday, but which is, as it were, on the verge between the end of saturday and the beginning of easter, great saturday is

a special hymn, the hymn that we will sing this night, thy angels, christ of the salvation, the procession of the cross is always a special service that we have already performed in the orthodox churches, literally yesterday,

good friday, associated with the burial of the ploshchenitsa, that is, the memory of how they came to pontiou pilate. in order to ask for the body of the savior. nicodemus, as a secret disciple, brought incense in order to to anoint the body of the savior, and joseph, being influential among the high priests, had the opportunity to boldly approach pilate in order to take the body. christ. pilate was very surprised that the savior had already died, because usually those who were crucified on crosses suffered terribly and for quite a long time. according to the testimony of the evangelists, we know that the two thieves who were crucified on the right and left sides of the savior were still alive,

so the roman legionnaires who came to check on those who were on the cross, they they broke their legs so that they... would die sooner before the start of the sabbath, which was especially revered by the jews, so during the sabbath it was impossible to leave the bodies of the dead on the cross, the savior had already died by that time, which surprised pilate, but he allowed them to take the body of christ, then joseph and nicodemus, whom our orthodox church especially honors, took the body of the savior. and decided to bury him in a new coffin, carved into the rock, it is quite possible that it belonged to joseph himself, as the ancient jews buried, the body of the savior was laid in such a stone bed, a huge stone slab was discovered just after

the restoration work that took place in edicule, and most likely it is connected precisely with those events, perhaps precisely... this wickerwork is now located in the place where the edicule was installed. yes, the excavations that took place in the temple in the sixteenth and seventeenth years, and the excavations and repairs that are going on now, they clearly showed full compliance with both the gospel and the sources of the fourth,

those gospel events that we have today we remember, because the burial place of christ is located next to golgotha, that is , the place of the crucifixion, and these are precisely the places to which saint helen of equal apostles, mother of emperor constantine, will later come, who will find the cross of the lord, and thanks to whom, the actual revival of the shrine will begin precisely thanks to the saint is equal to the apostles to helen and will be erected... thanks to her labors, the labors of her son, emperor constantine, the first jerusalem temple of the resurrection of christ will be erected, and excavations.

where her relics will later rest in as a result of other events, but it is surprising that the holy land, the jerusalem temple, they change many people who find themselves here, this is apparently a special feeling, a special state not only of pilgrims, but also of people who, even purely out of curiosity , find themselves near christian shrines, they do not may not realize and feel that...

earthly concerns, everyday affairs, very often it does not occur to us to think about why we live, what is the meaning of what is happening? around us with us, and of course, the place where we are now is a place where we can get answers to these questions, if we really sincerely try to turn to god, sincerely try to solve these questions for ourselves, about how difficult it is and what responsibility lies on the patriarch, who... . now passes through the believers with great difficulty, you can read from patriarch

diodorus. who from 1981 to 2000 was the patriarch of jerusalem and actually prayed for the origin of the holy fire and he wrote down that when he enters the edicule, then he enters in great fear, and since it is completely dark there, then... he describes how he almost makes his way through the limit of the angel and already falls in front of that place, in front of the tomb, where christ lay after death, where he was resurrected, here he is writes that i make my way through the darkness to the inner room, in which i fall to my knees, i say

prayers that have been handed down to us through... centuries, and having said them, i wait, behind these words of the patriarch, i want to tell us all, we too, we are also waiting, we are also now, we understand that this is lithomia, this circling the edicule three times, this is a prayer, and the prayer of everyone, the prayer of those pilgrims and believers who have gathered in the temple, this is a prayer,

we mentioned just the limit of the angel, that is , the first - the part that precedes - to the room where the box is located the savior, so called, because it is there, uh, the myrrh-bearing wives, uh, will find an angel, uh, who will tell them that christ has risen, and a fragment of that slab, which, uh, uh, should symbolize just a rolled away stone . from the tomb is now that part the throne on which the divine liturgy is celebrated in the limit of the angel. well, now, of course, there is a big answer, the responsibility lies with those guards, with those kalas who are forced

to literally pave the way for the patriarch...

the second half of the 19th century. it was during this period, immediately after the crimean war and the abolition of serfdom in russia, that the flow of russian pilgrims to the holy land, who needed additional places for accommodation, increased significantly. the newly created one takes care of russian citizens. by prince sergei alexandrovich, in jerusalem , on the initiative of its first chairman, the great , the construction of a courtyard began, later named in his honor sergievsky. the flag of the imperial orthodox palestine society was first flown over the corner tower on april 29, 1889. in the autumn of the same

year, the sergievskoe metochion received the first. pilgrims. the courtyard met the highest requirements of hotels of that time. the territory had its own water supply, sewerage, kitchen, and laundry. and a dining room. the first two weeks after arriving in jerusalem, pilgrims, those staying in the general wards did not pay anything for the premises, and after this period, if they wanted to continue their stay in russian buildings, they paid 3 kopecks for the premises. per day per person. a small amount was also paid for a russian hospital with the right, if necessary, to use treatment and maintenance there. for those who wanted to live outside of the general wards, russian buildings provided separate rooms, which, depending on the situation, were divided into three classes. before the revolution in the sergievsky courtyard famous russian scientists,

writers, musicians and artists stayed there. in 1914, with the outbreak of world war i, the council of the imperial orthodox palestine society adopted. decision to close russian buildings in jerusalem under his jurisdiction. as a result of the first world war, palestine found itself under the protectorate of great britain and the british authorities began to rent out the orthodox compound. the flow of pilgrims here stopped for many years. only in 2008 did the podvorye building return to the control of the russian government. for in order to revive the buildings. it took 10 years. in 2017 , a flag with the emblem of the imperial orthodox palestinian society was again raised over one of the towers.

for the first time in the history of israel, a memorial plaque with an inscription in russian was installed on the wall of the sergievsky courtyard . 5 years later, the first russian museum was opened in jerusalem, russia in the holy land, the exhibition of which presents unique documents, evidence of the origins of the russian empire. since that time, as in the last century, the sergievsky courtyard has opened its doors again for russian pilgrims to the holy land. this year marks 110 years, just like the end of such.

from inside the tomb, before unmasking, together with the armenian archbishop, going inside, in order to receive and take out the holy fire from there. now

the greek psalms are being sung, now the religious procession is going around kuvukhli for the third time, now the head of the greek orthodox church of jerusalem is participating in the procession, but the most important thing for... thank you very much, sergey. well, in general, as for the time of descent of the fire, then from in ancient times this was a subject

of special observation. the faster the descent of grace took place, and the more abundant the outpouring of light in the area, in the ratunda, throughout the temple, the more well-being was determined. throughout the next year, and even during arab rule, at the beginning of the litany, representatives of muslims usually came to the temple, this is... somewhere near the coffin, and then wrote reports to the capital of the caliphate about how quickly or how long the fire took to go down, from the speed of convergence they concluded about the harvest, and if the fire was late, then it was a sign of crop failure, these signs that were described... there in the 20th century they

remained in force for the arab population of jerusalem and palestine, until the middle of the 20th century. now the patriarch has started the second round of the religious procession, which is going on very slowly, and indeed this time depends on when the patriarch himself enters kuvuklya from his prayer, and of course. fire is not only a herald of favorable or unfavorable times, as indeed such a special popular belief developed in the holy land, but in addition, these are also the symbols that we meet in the gospel narrative, because fire is always a kind of light of truth, it is the light of truth, the grace of god, when we remember:

for example, the parable of the lost drachma, a lost coin, which a woman could only find by placing a lamp on a candlestick, that is, the light of christ, it enlightens everyone, a lost coin is a lost human soul, it can only be found through the gospel of christ, or lamps carried by wise virgins, who gathered for a feast at the wife's. wedding feast, and these lamps are also a symbol, in a special way, of that prudence, spiritual wisdom that every person who turns to god should have, therefore, since ancient times, lamps and lamps have always been an integral part of divine services, we still install lamps. ..we

will now look at this story, we see how representatives of our delegation, vladimir ivanovich yakunin, anatoly dmitrievich viktorov, russian ambassador to israel, bishop lukhavitsky head of the russian spiritual mission, archimandir of vasiania.

us by thy holy spirit, may we live in love, joy, peace and long-suffering, glory and sing thy most frequent and magnificent name, father and son and holy spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. vie underwater jesus christ, κύριος.

the resurrection of the lord and we see how the procession of the cross is already over, after which the patriarch must go to change his vestments, or rather, take off his outer robe, the sakos, and remain in one saccos, in the vestment, that is, in that part of the vestment that is an integral part of the liturgical...

so they entered together with the archimandrite of the armenian apostolic orthodox church. now the lights in the entire temple will go out. everyone will

pray together with the patriarch, who is in povoukleia. these are just those days of special anticipation. when the lord was buried in that new tomb where they laid his body, nicodemus and joseph, the righteous one, and since saturday had come, it was a day of rest, everyone had to remain in silence, a special prayer according to the ancient jewish custom, for us, of course, this has a completely different special meaning, because it was at this time that the lord was in the tomb. and we know that all the disciples at that moment left the savior, they will gain firm faith after sunday, when they go to preach, and only the wives were waiting for the savior, whom in the church we

will call myrrh-bearers, mary magdalene, the other mary, who early in the morning they came to the tomb to anoint the body of jesus with perfume, too. who said that you are looking for the living among the dead, he is not here, he has risen, this is our expectation, in a sense it is waiting for these myrrh-bearing women who came, not hoping for anything, but firmly believing

that their teacher, the savior, was in the tomb, and by coming to him, they would be able to find the holy truth. in this prayerful expectation we also expect this special color. yes, and we see how the pilgrims who stand, to the right and left of the entrance to kvuklya, in prayerful expectation and cross themselves, and wait, and at the entrance are already standing, representatives of the coptic and syrian churches, which knock on... the patriarch, when they will be allowed, they will be able to enter and from patriarch to receive the fire that we are waiting for, hoping and believing will come.

there will be joy throughout the city, throughout the holy land, in russia and in those countries where the holy fire is awaited, and those believers who saw today’s broadcast with us, because the broadcast took place not only in russia, but in serbia, georgia, in bulgaria, in montenegro in macedonia, we can say that this is really an event. village scale, and we have the opportunity to join it, we

see how people rejoice, we remember, of course, those wonderful words of the luminary john chrysostom, which we will listen to tonight at the night service, hell, where is your victory, hell, where is your sting, of course, the resurrection of christ is a victory over...

thank god, the fire went down, we were given one more

year, and we this we rejoice, we rejoice, like those myrrh-bearers who... seeing the angel, and then the teacher himself, whom they did not recognize, they thought that it was the gardener, they asked where you put the body of our teacher, they could not believe that christ had risen, this special joyful feeling, of course, is important to us understand, based on those who are there now, we want to ask sergei pashkov what feelings the pilgrims around him feel, sergei.

we hope and believe that the connection with sergei will still be established, but so far we don’t hear him, so we see how pilgrims wash themselves with fire, like a lamp, carry from kugukli, until next year. they are now bringing her into the altar and placing her on the throne, you hear the festive gospel, you hear how the words christ is risen now under the arches of the temple, the holy sepulcher, probably sound to everyone languages ​​of the orthodox world, a human river,

a river of fire at these moments is splashing out on the street of the ancient city of jerusalem.

we express special gratitude to the russia-1 television company and the ntv television company. the first channel, as well as the foundation of the holy all-praised apostle andrew the first-called for organizing the traditional television broadcast, the ceremony of the descent of the holy fire. the fire will arrive in moscow this evening, traditionally it is usually 22:00, and

it will be possible to pick it up there. as we have already said, he will arrive at the cathedral of christ the savior and through the foundation of the holy apostle andrew the first-called, this fire can be received in parish churches in the foundation itself. father andrey, i congratulate you on the descent of the holy fire, on the upcoming easter of christ, which is customary in jerusalem after the descent.

always in our hearts throughout the year, so we wish everyone that the holy fire is a symbol of such a special joy that we experience on the holy days of easter. the holy fire descended, the peace of great saturday ended, it was immediately felt sunday of christ is approaching, a particle of the holy fire will be delivered to

moscow this evening, transferred to 15 churches in the capital, including the cathedral of christ the savior for the patriarchal easter service, it will begin at 23:30, watch the live broadcast on our tv channel, it will open at 23:25, but for now... we'll get back to other news from this saturday. new blows were delivered today to the military infrastructure of ukraine. local authorities reported damage to critical infrastructure in the dnipropetrovsk region. destroyed in kharkov region large ammunition depot. a strong fire broke out on the spot, covering an area of ​​3.00 km. at the same time, the ukrainian general staff reported on the successful repulsion of attacks, on the interception of all russian drones and russian ones. our military today destroyed another american abrams tank in the special operation zone. ukrainian formations tried to launch a counterattack near avdeevka, but were
