Beating Swine Flu--The Holy Way
Many workplaces have urged sick workers to stay home in the wake of H1N1 (swine flu) virus this flu season.
But believe it or not, churches are also wondering how the illness will affect their congregations.
One Italian inventor's solution: an electronic holy water dispenser.
After services, rather than dipping their hands in a pool of water blessed by the priest, worshippers can now stick their hands under the dispenser for a squirt of holy water.
Some say the dispensers are eroding tradition, but the inventor has received orders from all over the world.
