Holy Land's Miracle: the River Jordan Reversed its Flow!
- Thread starter S.F.

It's interesting. It says that this occurs because the rivers are connected and one of them can undergo flooding, creating a reversal in another:
It would be interesting to know what would be the cause in the case of the Jordan.

Consuming holy water!
Yes you could get all kind of nasty effects from that I imagine. Especially if you drank the stuff that everybody has been dipping their grubby fingers in.
1d8 points of damage vs undead, you gots to like those numbers

I once had similar paranormal effects caused by gas station sushi.
In the Orthodox Church, at the holiday for Jesus' baptism, the priest brings out big vats of water and blesses them and then people take it home in bottles.
There is also a Russian company that sells "holy spring" water instead of regular spring water. In Russia there are certain springs that are considered to be holy and the water is sometimes considered holy.

I wonder what criteria is required to establish the holiness or otherwise of springs? You have to hand it to those clerics, they know how to flog a thing for all it's worth.
I read about a spring in Tasmania, (that is part of Australia), the water from which is about 2000 years old, (that is from the time it went underground), so the water was in the atmosphere at the time Jesus was doing his thing. I wonder if the clerics are going to get onto this one. Could be a good money spinner.
If you own a spring you don't have to pay the water bill. Owning the spring seems a better business decision than using tap.

I don't know what are tax laws on springs in Russia, but I think probably it is cheaper for them to own the source than to pay for the tap water from someone else.

Orthodox Church? Pfaw! I blow my nose on your piteous Orthodox Crutch!
I was raised in the UNORTHODOX CHURCH! Our priests were all slutty young women & other types of girls! They heard our confessions in their boudoirs! Oh the penances they gave us! (I still walk funny, and I'm proud!) On holy days (3 a week, as I recall) they put out vats of decidedly unholy wine, & you'd better take Communion, buddy!
I was very pious.
