During this pascha 2005, a big miracle happened in the Monastery of Cyprianos and Justina, Filii, Greece. This monastery belongs as you perhaps know, to the TOC of Greece under Metropolit Cyprianos. During pascha liturgy a blue light appeared that, according to the people who had seen this light before, were exactly the same as the blue light that appears in the Grave Church in Jerusalem during the traditional service og the Holy Fire. They even heard the sparkling and then saw the blue light in front of the Iconostasis. Many, including myself, see this as a sign from God that He Bless our struggle. I remember the discussion about patriasch Diodoros I, if he have grace or not. Patriarch Diodoros I visited this monastery and even concelebrated with Cyprianos. The Holy fire came to him. It is also true that the Holy Fire did not come to the armenians, but "took another way" and came to the true orthodox from a pillar. If it just appears for the "Genuin Orthodox" of GOC that visits this miracle, why doesnt it come just to them. An explanation that it appears to show the world when the true date for pascha is, is also strange, becuase then it could have come to monophysites who celebrate pascha at the same time. I believe it comes becuase there is GRACE in the Patriarch of Jerusalem. This is, I bleive, the best explanation.

Exact science must presently fall upon its own keen sword...from Skepsis there is a path to "second religiousness," which is the sequel and not the preface of the Culture.
