St. John Chrysostom on Tour


Waiting for hours, but not for Hannah Montana tickets.


An unidentified girl kisses the skull of St John Chrysostom in a Greek Orthodox church dedicated to the saint in Lakatamia, a suburb of Nicosia, Cyprus, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007. Thousands of Cypriots queued for hours to touch the revered Christian relic, credited with two miraculous cures in the past three days. The silver-encased skull, on a rare exit from its home in a northern Greek monastery, will remain in Cyprus until Nov. 20. (AP Photo/Petros Karadjias)

It's the scourge of the Greek-speaking world. Many well meaning Greek Americans donate chairs to Churches in the old country. Everyone's a bishop with his/her own throne.

As you can see, I have no strong opinion about this...really. []:-)}}=+

The Churches in Uganda have similar chairs, to the degree that they have means...from their Greek influence I assume.
