Not in a coffin, but on his throne!

An Old Calendarist Archbishop in Greece died a week ago and they didn't put him in a coffin, but transported him on his throne. There were several photos of other high priests kissing his hand or face. Even Greek Orthodox New Calendarists were either or pretended to be shocked by this ritual.

The majority had a good laugh and many funny pictures go around the web.
