Clergy in vestments and black hoods process across a chequered marble floor during the Orthodox Holy Fire ceremony at Easter 1941; the photographers' log names the procession as the Syrian (Syriac) Orthodox one led by Archbishop Jacob Filixinos. The ceremony is held in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, likely the setting here.
