In Italy, many people shake hands with their neighbours at church as a sign of peace. However, the outburst of swine flu in Italy has prompted many churches to abolish this peaceful gesture in order to avoid hand-to-hand contact. It’s interesting to see how creative we get in these kinds of situations. A guy in Northern Italy, for example, has invented a very successful “safe holy water dispenser” – the machine lets a few drops of water fall into your hands so you don’t have to dip your fingers into the holy water bowl, which can be a breeding ground for germs.
