Triumph Over Death
la the end of the Sabbath, as it be«aa to
dawa toward the first day of the week, came
Mary Magdalene and the other Marys to see
the sepulcher.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake:
for the Angel of the Lord descended from
Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone
from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and bis
raiment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead men.
And the Angel answered and said unto the
women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek
Miracle of the
Holy Fire Stirs
Crowd to Frenzy
Six eastern rites simultaneously ob
serve the most precious of all the
festivals of eastern Christianity. Eas
ter eve in the Holy city finds the
Abyssinians lurching with their cu
rious dancing gait around the dome
on the roof of St. Helena’s chapel, the
Armenians chanting within the chapel,
the Latins singing their midnight mass
in the chapel of the Apparition, the
gongs high up In the dome of the
Crusaders’ church shrilly calling the
Orthodox to prayer, and Jacobite and
Coptic litanies swelling this babel of
Christian ecstasy.
During the week that thue reaches
its cliihax, two services stand out
from all the rest; The placid miracle
play of the washing of the feet, based
on the thirteenth chapter of St John,
which is performed separately on
Mauiidy Thursday by the Orthodox,
the Annealing and the Jacobites, and
the wild outbreak of the holy fire on
the Saturday before Easter which is
held jointly by the Orthodox, the Ar
menians, the Copts and the Jacobites
in the lofty rotunda of the church.
Os the three ceremonios of the
washing of the feet, the Orthodox
service is the best known, for it i 6
held publicly on the forecourt of the
church, while the Armenian and Ja
cobite services are held iDdoors —the
Armenian in the cathedral of St.
James, in the southwestern quarter
of the walled city; the Jacobite in
the church of their monastery of St.
Mark, also in the southwestern quar
ter. Those who have seen all three
services say that the service in the
splendid Armenian cathedral is in
comparably the finest.
The Holy Fire.
The little tableau of the Garden of
Getbsemane is a feature peculiar to
the Orthodox service. Members of
the clergy impersonating St Peter, St.
James and St. John dispose them
selves for sleep on ‘the,, steps of the
platform and presently* are. aroused‘
from their slumbers. They fall
asleep again and are again roused.
This bit of symbolism brings the .serv
ice to a close and the patriarch and
his clergy, reforming In procession,
leave the forecourt to the renewed,
clangor of the bells. ..
From these simple services the as
tounding spectacle of the holy fire is
a violent transition. It is moving -be*
yond belief, but it is a devotional rite.
This is the annual miracle of the
bringing down of flame from heaven
and the thousands of believers who
have waited all night around the sep
ulcher in the -rotunda where the
flame descends are moved to an un
controllable emotion as the hour
nears; > v" .. •
By ten o’clock on the morning ot
the Saturday before Easter the floor
of the rotunda is packed with a seeth
ing swaying, murmuring mass, leaving
only a narrow lane from the old Cru
. saders’ church, now the -Orthodox ca
thedral, to the door -of „ the sepulcher.,
where police, holding hands, preserve
away for the coming of the patriarch.
Higher in the rotunda the arched win
dows of the ambulatory and the^ upper
galleries below the dome are similar
ly crowded.
Scene of Color and Frenzy. ,
The gold and silver of hanging
iamps, the bright garments of the
women in the galleries and the blend
ing red of the fezzes struggling about
the walls of the little pinnacled’ sep
ulcher below, the low roar of voices
rising into snatches of chanTlng and
the clapping of hands in rhythm, the
sudden erruption of angry shouts as
a flying wedge of men bearing a
frenzied singer on their shoulders seek
to force their way nearer to the sep
ulcher, only to he met and broken
up by a rush of police, the never-end
ing rhythmic chant which gives time
and heat and measure to the rising
tension —all these comprise a scene
overwhelming in its effect. Back in
the ’3os more than 300 people were

for He is risen, aa He said. Come, see the
place where the Lewd lay.
And no quickly, and tell His disciples that
He ie risen fretn the dead; and, behold, He
goeth before you into Gallilee; there ye shall
see Him: 10, 1 have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulcher
with fear and great joy; and did run to brine

And as they went to tell His disciples, be

they came and held Him by the feet and wor

trampled to death at one of these
frenzied miracles of the holy fire.
At twelve o’clock the bells over
head break into a deafening torrent
of sound. The procession emerges
through the narrow lane from the
Orthodox cathedral —banners borne by
choristers and laymen, bishops follow
ing and finally the white-bearded and
white-robed patriarch, a golden cross
upon his crown. Three times the pro
cession circles the sepulcher, .diving
through the awed and hushed crowd.
Finally it halts before the low door.
The patriarch removes his crown and
an acolyte bears it away on a silver
dish. His heavy robes are removed
and he passes iflto the sepulcher,' fol
lowed by an Armenian bishop in coral
biretta and blue stole.
Wild Exultation.
The tension is now at its highest
pitch.- A lane has been cleared from
the smoke-stained hole tn the side of
the sepulcher to an outer door. Run
nels in white singlets and shorts are
waiting at the hole and the crowd
has resolved itself into >a thousand
clusters of tapers straining toward
the hole through which the heaven
sent fire is to be given. A passionate
suspense fills every dragging second.
The rest happens more quickly thfcn
the eye can take-it in. A confused
impression remains of th£ thrust of
a flaming torch from the hole; of a
great roar of exultation drowned by
the furious clangor of the bells; of
half-naked runners dashing away with
blazing torches held high over head:
of fire dancing from taper to taper and
candle to candle until the entire ro
tunda glows with a million wavering
points of brightness; of the aged 1 pa
triarch staggering from the sepul
cher holding aloft three blazing bun
dles of tapers —an unforgettable fig
ure of gleaming white against a back
ground of dark faces and dancing fire.
There remains- jthe memory of his
white form carHed struggling and
swaying into the: Orthodox cathedral.
There remains, too, the memory of
the processions circling the sepulther
