Like I said on the last thread, it's definitely not like any relic structure I've seen before. But it leaves a lot to interpretation.
Besides, doesn't the relic of the Saint "trump" the vessel in which it is being cased? In other words, what ever the shape of the case, it doesn't change the fact that what is inside of it is Holy and Edifying.

I think I'll archive this with all the other articles out there that make Russia/Russian Orthodoxy out to be weird and outlandish. Funny how it's only the strange stuff that is brought to attention.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.

Very good point. |

I looked up a few more things on the 'Satan's hand sign' and was surprised to see the hand sign for the Deaf "I love you" as listed as one of these signs. **shakes head**
What gets me more is that for those of us who are old enough - this sign came out of the hard rock generation. . . and has also been used to signify the bull horns of those Texan's 'down that way apiece' in the US. The sign for the deaf and the sign for the bull horns is OLDER than the sign for the hard rock insignia for what's his face. People can ascribe anything to anything to inflame anyone.
My first thought when I saw the icon wasn't Satan, but the thought that perhaps the casing was placed in the exact placement of the fingers once rigor mortis set in. Who knows. But I know that Holy is Holy and more so than we. Thanks be to God.

May I ask, why is this being discussed on the Foreign Languages section?

Вибачтe, цe нe пeрeконує. Я так собі гадав, що на сeкції "Інозeмні мови" трeба говорити інозeмними мовами, тобто нe англійською. На підсeкції "Cлов"янські мови" трeба говорити слов"янськими мовами. Мeні дійсно дивно, що дописувачі цього сайту, які є пeрeважно амeриканці, мають настільки розмитe поняття про тe, що є інозeмні мови і для чого на вeб-форумах потрібні сeкції інозeмних мов, що вони пхають у ці сeкції "трeтьої свіжості" "обговорeння" (а точнішe пeрeжовування) чудeрнацьких "тeм," які вжe пeрeжовувалися і пeрe-пeрeжовувалися дeіндe.  |

Because the full article is in the Russian language, so to understand it and discuss it best, one would need to know Russian. |

So, if we find a link in Spanish, or German, or Japanese, or in any other language other than English, should we discuss it here, in the Foreign Language section of OC.net? What's the purpose of having this section then, as we all can find whatever in any language and discuss it? Especially given that nowadays computers provide pretty much anyone with an opportunity to translate and comprehend anything, regardless of in what language it has been published? |

1. Personally, I wouldn't prefer to have a system where on English threads you can ONLY type English and in Russian threads you can only type Russian. This is the Russian forum, and on the foreign language forums, English speakers who don't know a language often ask what an article means in English to understand it better. This very odd article is one such case.
2. I do speak Russian, but not 100%. This article is in Russian, but it is strange and complicated. So to understand it, I want to find other people who know Russian and can explain it in English.

"Bud' dobr" is not translated as "be good." It's an idiom, meaning "please do," or "do me a favor."  |

Now you see why I need to write English on the Russian forum Regards. Hmmm. I think "be kind" is best translated into Russian as "будь добрым" (bud' dobrym). Although if I meant to tell someone to be kind, in the sense "show more kindness," I would say "будь добрee," or "надо быть добрee," or "был бы ты добрee." |

Isn't that reliquary an ancient one and from Athos? I suppose they hadn't heard then about Dio, had they?
