520 1 |a "Every year in Jerusalem the 'miracle' of the Holy Fire-shrine, the spontaneous ignition of lamps inside the shrine containing Christ's tomb. It is enacted in front of hundreds of the faithful. For centuries, Orthodox Christian pilgrims have made the arduous journey to witness it, the proof they need that God favours them not only above Jews and Muslims, but also above all other Christians. Holy Fire presents the unending battle waged by various denominations of churchmen for their saviour's empty tomb as a microcosm of wider power struggles." "Deftly weaving history, reportage and religion into an account of centuries of battles fought in God's name. Victoria Clark explores the contribution that the Christian world has made to the unfolding tragedy of the Holy Land, at a time when it has never been more urgent for the West to see itself as others see it."--BOOK JACKET.
