An Armenian bishop has sparked outrage whilst giving a tour of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to an Israeli journalist interested in the miracle of the Holy Fire, after he suggested that it does not always appear and so sometimes, the Greek Patriarch has to light his candle from a lamp instead (καντύλι)!
The journalist, stunned by the response, queried further whether the Holy Fire is a miracle at all. In response, the Armenian said that God wasn’t always in the mood to perform miracles.
At once the Greek Orthodox monk responsible for the guarding of the holy site, interjected and accused the Armenian bishop of lying and that was no such lamp or process takes place.
