Oleg Avchenko suggested we might want to look at the data
corresponding to the Miracle of the Holy Fire, which is an
important, repeating event in the Christian Orthodox celebration
of Easter. From the website www.holylight.gr:
A lot of people in this world heard about the HOLY LIGHT that
comes out on Resurrection Day in Easter (Pascha) in
Jerusalem. People who haven't seen it believe that the
Orthodox Patriarch goes into the Holy Sepulchre and lights
up the candles. Through our pages you will realize the
truth, that HOLY LIGHT is a great miracle of CHRIST for all
the world to see. I decided to make this site to present the
truth to the world.
Our exploratory analysis looks at a three hour period,
centered on the time Oleg indicates the light is expected to
appear. The graph shows a steady, though not statistically
significant low-going trend. While we cannot make a sound
interpretation because this is not a formal, prespecified
hypothesis test, steady slopes like this are consistent with
a small, persistent effect.
