I think everyone has heard that the first few minutes of the Blessed Fire in Bethlehem does not burn. Most people think it’s fairy tales. Then welcome to the fairy tale, this experiment is for you!

Light the most ordinary candle. The flame is orange at the bottom, white in the center, blue at the top. This is a temperature gradient. Swallow the flame of the candle, trying to make your fingers pass over the most fittle, through the white-orange zone. Do not rush, or burn the fire. Your skin is protected by a sweat-fat layer, the slower the movement in the flame, the faster the protection will evaporate. Three slow swings are equal to ten quick ones. Every next time it will be hot, and the first warmth is barely felt.

This spectacular focus was taught by my brother and dad when we were very young. It’s all about trust, outside of Bethlehem, few people voluntarily put their hands in the fire :)

A celebration for you!
