Worshippers hold candles as they take part in the Christian Orthodox Holy Fire ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s old city.
Why I love Pascha/Easter :)
The demon will suggest to us that reading Holy Scripture is a worthless, boring, time wasting and tiring effort that we could best do without. He will make us yawn, cause our eyelids to become heavy, make us burp, hiccup, sneeze, cough, cause our stomach to rumble, give us itches, pains, restlessness, lack of attention, daydreams, temptations… ideas that there are more important things we must think about or do etc., etc….

A wonderful video about Elder Paisios of Mt. Athos.
Amazing video about a true modern saint, and it’s totally worthwhile to at least watch part of it! (sorry, non-Greeks, for the lame subtitles though x.x)
