A true story in Psara:
In one part of the island, called Fidolakos (Snake Ditch), there is a monastery dedicated to Saint Matrona. In the past, that ditch had many snakes. Once, during the Divine Liturgy, a small snake fell inside the Holy Cup from the dome of the Holy Altar immediately after the Holy Conversion. The priest was scared and freaked out. What could he do? He could not throw it away, for it had been poured into the Holy Communion, and during the Consumption of the Holy Gifts, he was forced to eat it.
