Syriac Orthodox Christians hold lit candles during the ceremony of Holy Fire arrival of the Mar Matti Monastery near Mosul. Eastern Orthodox Christians believe that the 'Holy Fire' emanates from within the Tomb of Christ inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on the Holy Saturday in Jerusalem. Eastern Orthodox Christian believers mark the Holy Week of Easter in celebration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Eastern Orthodox world celebrates Easter Day according to the old Julian calendar. (Photo by Ismael Adnan / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
