It's always fun...

...to see what the press manages when reporting on religion in general and Orthodoxy in particular.

Orthodox Metropolite Amfilohije holds an icon-lamp in Belgrade's Congregational church, Tuesday, March 17, 2009, as he leads memorial service liturgy marking the fifth anniversary of ethnic riots in Kosovo. Ethnic Albanian mobs attacked minority Serbs on March 17, 2004, and 19 people died. Minority Serbs in Kosovo lack basic rights nearly 10 years after NATO bombing ended Serbia's rule there, Serbia's President Boris Tadic said Monday and urged the U.N. and European Union officials in Kosovo to 'establish the rule of law' and provide security for the citizens.

Ah, yes, the ol' icon lamp. I've got one o' my own tucked away somewhere, probably next to the vigil censer.

Mine is right next to my holy flame thrower.

Nothing funny about the actual story. I cannot imagine.

Wow, those Serbian Congregationalists have really stepped it up with all the smells and bells. They've come a long way from wooden pews, plain white walls and pulpits.
