This is a very unusual eternal flame. It is in a symbolic representation of the tomb that Jesus' was laid in after he was crucified. In this tomb, there is a slab of rock where Jesus' body was laid. Because he is risen, the tomb is empty. The flame represents that Jesus is risen. The thing that makes this flame interesting is that you don't see the flame directly. The liquid propane flame is at the bottom rear of the tomb. Through a series of mirrors the flame is projected to appear floating above the tomb. It can only be viewed from a certain angles. If you get real close the flame dissapears but as you step back or to the sides, it appears again. It has also been called a holograph image. Because the image is hard to see, the photos of it are very dim and hard to see.
