The Golgotha stone used in the center of the cross on the back of this reliquary was gathered on the site of Golgotha in Jerusalem and placed at the Anointing Stone and Blessed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre before it was sent to me by my friend Evie who lives in Jerusalem. On the front of the pendant is pressed into the center Holy Fire wax candle remnant that was lit at the tomb of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Info on the Holy fire candle remnant below. I will email you the Golgotha stone and Holy Fire info photos posted. Please note that the size shapes of stones will vary within each pendant as each is unique. I took a closeup of the pendant so the stone may appear larger in the photos. This will come with the gold foil gift box shown. History of the Miracle of the Lighting of the Candles every Easter. The Holy Fire is a miracle that occurs on the day preceding Orthodox Easter in which a blue light emanates within Jesus tomb. The Holy Flame comes down from Heaven and puts fire on lamps and candles in the Church. This miracle occurs every year dating as far back as the fourth century. The first occurrence of the Holy Fire in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was in the fourth century. Although as early as the first century A.D Saint John of Damascus and Saint Gregory Nyssen tell of the Apostle Peter seeing the Holy Light a year after the resurrection of Jesus Christ in 34 A.D. The Russian abbot Daniel, in his itinerary, written in the years 1106-07, gives a very detailed account of the "Miracle of the Holy Light" and the ceremonies that surrounded it. He recalls how the Patriarch goes into the Sepulchre -chapel (the Anastasis )with two closed candles. The Patriarch kneels in front of the stone on which Christ was laid after his death and says certain prayers, upon which the miracle occurs.
