Huh. This is... interesting.
Priests in the Russian city of Tver took to the skies this week to save local citizens from drunken craziness by air-bombing the town with holy water.
Clergymen poured out 70 liters’ worth of sacred liquid from a large chalice through the open door of a rickety green plane on Wednesday, in an escalation of their battle against “drinking” and “fornication,” local outlet Tvernews reported.
Local television showed a priest strapped into a harness to keep him from accidentally falling from the airplane while tipping gallon after gallon onto the city below. (Vice)
Okay then! Apparently there's a big sobriety push in Russia. They do love them some vodka... maybe a little too much, according to some. Still, I'm not sure that dumping gallons of holy water from an airplane is the best way to tackle the issue, but what do I know?
Check out the video below. It's in Russian, of course.
