As Easter is approaching, I had a discussion with my manager about the so called "holy fire" phenomenon that allegedly appears in a church in Jerusalem on every orthodox Easter. For those of you that didn't hear about this, here is a link Holy Fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm pretty convinced myself it's a hoax but my manager says it's a miracle and said he wants some scientific explanation to believe it isn't miracle. Anyway I was doing some searches on google and it seems if you use phosphor a similar light can be made, that doesnt burn you and auto ignites. If any of you heard about this or knows what should I tell my manager to make him think a bit let me know.

I've never heard of this before. The only Holy Fire I know of is what was described in Acts.
