GREEK Priest WITH THE HOLY FIRE
monies are observed in the vicinity of
the holy sepulcher at that season. one
of the most interesting is that known
as the Elaboration of the column of the
scourging," which is held in one of
the Roman Catholic chapels. Here Il
broken pillar of red granite, believed
by the credulous pilgrims to be the
very pillar to which our Lord was
bound when he was scourged. is ex-
posed on the altar for the OBLIGATION
of the faithful Among the eastern
Christians, especially the Russians, this
relic is held in great vcncration, and as
1t is uncovered once n year, on Holy
Thursday, the crowd to view 1t is i'm
menSe, the people struggling and fight
ing for foremost place, while the
Turkish soldiers. whose duty it is to
keep order in the sanctuary, use their
long whips on men and women alike.
The ceremony of foot washing Is per-
formed by two sects-by the Roman
Catholics and the Greeks.
The ceremony connected with the
holy fire. takes place beneath the
central dome in and around the holy
sepu!cher. From Good Friday TO
Easter eve this part of the edifce is
closed. The people. however, who are
insidc-and some go there two or three
days in adYance-are not expelled.
According to ancient tradition, the sa-
cred fire descends from heaven into
the holy scpulcher once every year. on
the afternoon of Easter eve, and this
fire IS supposed to cleanse the faithful
from their sins. Every one. therefore,
who wishes to take part in this mys-
terious rite provides himself with
bundle Of candles, which he will light
from the sacred fire itself The PEG
pie who belong exclusively to the Or
thodox Greek church, crowd the whole
Interior of the rotmda and the great
gallery overlooking the tomb, and AS
Easter eve wears on they work them
selves into state Of intense excite
ment, calling upon the sacred fire to
descend. At , o'clock in the afternoon
Greek priest, borne on the shoulders
of several half naked porters, makes
his way into the crowd and. approach
the tomb, thrusts torch into the in
terror, where the Greek patriarch OF
Jerusalem and his chief clergy are at
prayer. A moment later he with
