Pyrophilia (pie-row-phee-lee-a) is a disorder of the mind where an individual becomes sexually aroused by the acts of creating fires or watching fires. It is very different from pyromania because of the sexual nature. Pyromaniacs do not become sexually aroused by their crimes, whereas pyrophiliacs do. The cause is unknown but the treatment consists of cognative behaviourial therapy with a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist.

In the Christmas song 'let it snow' what was the weather describe as?
Well the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful.Your question is somewhat vague. the song is also, it does not specifically mention Christmas. There are flashes ( pun intended) of Pyrophilia or fire-worship or loving- one line even goes- The Fire was so inviting? not for me! Many Holiday songs merely have a snow-bound winter setting ( like Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride) and if you analyze the lyrics, do not even mention Christmas or Christ.

What is the Holy Light that happens on Holy Fire Saturday such as told about in The Church of the Holy Sepulchre?
Pyrophilia or fire worship is a pagan practice and ideally has no place in Christianity. There are few biblical references which would support such a practice. one must distinguish between Light- which takes various forms, and Fire, usually at the very least potentially destructive. Okay one has candles in churches, but nowadays these are being phased out with time-controlled flickering strobe lights made to look like candles, Fire Hazard, you know. I have never heard of Holy Fire Saturday. Candles have various religious applications, as suggested above- there was a Candlemas that tied in with Ground Hog day. ( Candles were blessed on this day). Pentecost doe sinvolve the ( tongues of fire) of the Holy Spirit, but not in any worship sense- there are no torchlights, etc. In a sense the Spirit was broadcast to all the faithful in the unnamed Upper Room. I have never heard of Holy Fire Saturday. Pentecost is always celebrated on sundays- hence the name Whitsunday- or White Sunday- Confirmation used to be performed on this Church Holiday., which is tied into Easter and hence movable but usually in May.
