It's that time of the year again in Romania: The night when at 12:00 AM we march to the nearest church to light a candle, using the flame of the totally-lit-by-god-and-not-some-priest-with-a-lighter-hidden-in-his-underwear fire, only to extinguish it against the top of our door frame upon returning home (hopefully without setting the house on fire). For those of us less interested in the human gods, who are boring and strict and also very prudish, it's a time to worship beautiful bunny goddesses instead... which can guarantee us an eternity of joy and happiness, granted it's inside their bellies and we don't mind spending it in a soup of digested carrots. As usual we have one of our favorite saints doing what she does best with every mortal that knows what's good for them.
I didn't have as much time with this render, so I put it together a bit more rapidly compared to my previous ones... none the less I'm very happy with how it turned out! This is also the first project I rendered with the new Blender 2.8 Beta, which I picked to make use of the new procedural hair shader (which makes fur look so much better). Created with the help of:
So far the leading cause remains coal heaters. There is a habit in Romania to draw a cross with the flame of a candle, against the wooden door frame... I'm surprised that hasn't been a leading cause of fires, as I never really heard about it being a trigger yet.

It is surprisingly hard to light thick wood on fire, even when it is dry. know most fires here happen when cigarettes fall onto fabric like curtains, carpet or cushions. Just below that are embers from fires doing the same thing. Soft stuff burns far easier.
Who gets to see the magic flame get lit? Is it lightning from the sky or is it supposed to just appear?

Supposedly a few chosen priests wait outside a room, while a fire magically lights itself on the day of the year that Jesus died. I understand the flame then comes from Rome by aeroplane, and is given to churches all over Europe as a tradition.
There is no way I'm buying this without some very good evidence; I'm among the first who would love to see some breaches of the laws of physics other than supposed ghost / alien sighting videos, and do believe they are possible... but there needs to be far more evidence. I've already seen videos on Youtube on how you can put specific chemicals on a fuse, and a candle can end up lighting itself minutes later due to a reaction with the environment.

Oh definitely, I've done glycerol-permanganate (Tends to smoke a lot first though) and the more expensive (For non-church me) white phosphorous in alcohol. There are probably hundreds of ways. Also, it must be a recent tradition if it involves aeroplanes.
I dont think the laws of physics as we know them will be broken anytime soon, but the universe is big enough that those laws can do some quite remarkable things all by themselves.
