No snakes on the island of Psara - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I was recently told an unusual story, and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of it?

quoting what I heard:

"On the Greek island of Psara, during a Divine Liturgy, a snake entered the church and consumed the Holy Communion. The priest then felt obliged to, and did, eat the snake. Afterwards, in God's name, he cursed snakes in general. Since then the island has been snake free, and even imported snakes die the instant they hit Psarian soil."

Has anyone else heard this story?
