I read the title and thought of the blue candle we light at the church in Constanța for Easter. Will it still be an icon or a miracle from Tatarstan? I would like to know more about what actually happened.

I saw the title and immediately thought of the Holy Fire too, Ana. Turns out it's about a bright blue flame that appeared on a simple wooden cross in a Tatarstan village church last week during the vigil. The priest there says it lasted almost twenty minutes and didn't burn the wood at all.
