The Holy Light from the Holy Sepulchre Church of the Resurrection of Christ will arrive from Jerusalem on Saturday, in an annual Orthodox Easter ritual that brings the flame to worshipers around Greece.

    The Holy Light will arrive the day before Easter, at 6:30 p.m. at Athens' 'Eleftherios Venizelos' International Airport on a government executive flight, where it will be received with heads of state honors.

        The Holy Light will then be given to the Greek and other delegations by Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem.

    After its arrival in Athens, the Holy Light will be conveyed on special flights by C-130 Airforce planes throughout Greece for the midnight Resurrection services.
