Religion of Chestnut

In Agrinio, the modern capital of Aetolia for whoever is fond of roleplaying as the Aetolian League in Rome's mods, the populace remains as pious as ever.
They recently paid their respects to the holy Chestnut of Paisios, a monk of Athos that gained sainthood, famous for his prophecies about the disintegration of Turkey and the renaissance of the Byzantine Empire, under Russian protection of course!

The priest answered to snarky comments questioning the moral aspect of exploiting holy relics, by claiming that the chestnut, personally given to him by the monk when he was only a student, 27 years ago, was exposed only after the congregation demanded to touch the blessed fruit.
FYI, the fruit remains in stellar condition, while it has been reported that the seed is capable of producing sound, presumably whispering the eventual liberation of Constantinople.


Be gentle please, the last man ridiculing the holy man of Athos by comparing him to an Italian spécialité got prosecuted for blasphemy, after his satirical facebook page was mentioned by a Golden Dawn MP.
