Christian Orthodox have the nerv to call everybody who is not an Orthodox Christian, stupid and crazy and they worship glasses of a monk, who recently was canonised a saint. It was a shame to use sculptures for ceremonial reasons, but it is okay to worship fetishes, such as glasses or slippers of a saint. (γυαλιά = glasses)
The invitation underneath is no hoax, the archbishop of Argolis admits it. The site of the Greek Church admits it, another very well known as well. By the way someone found also that the archbishop of Patras is inviting people to worship a piece of that monk's robe. Here it said that one can worship personal belongings (κειμήλιο) of saint Paisios and the remains (λείψανο) of saint Arsenios. Βoth words are translated as relics.
The church is in a village and probably they thought nobody would notice. Last year the same happened with the monk's slippers. The priest of the temple was blamed, because the archbishops didn't know about it, as they didn't give their blessing as they said. Anyway, the whole internet took notice of this invitation and then they tried to refute it by claiming it was a hoax. They said there was no fair, then a layman had to take the blame for printing this invitiation. The site of hoaxes will not admit its mistake and wants to see a photo with this invitation pinned up somewhere. They know very well that if it was suppressed, than all the posters would disappear in no time. The pious would see to it.
