THREAD: #Lebanon - there was a claim by a woman few days ago that she dreamt of Saint Charbel, who told her in the dream that using sand from the land where he was buried would cure everyone from #COVID2019 .. of course many people took this 'holy claim' seriously in #Lebanon
The woman claimed that Saint Charbel told her to 'Boil some holy sand, filter it with some gauze, and this shall be the cure for #COVID2019' - the woman along a priest took this request to the Rafik Hariri hospital in #Beirut where people are quarantined.
The resident Doctor refused to cooperate and said that with all due respect, no sand (holy or not) shall enter the premises. Of course, religious people in #Lebanon did not take it so well. Remember the man licking the shrine in #Iran? We have worst here. #COVID2019
Knowing that in the past few days, people flooded the Saint Charbel shrine in #Lebanon to get some 'Holy sand' - some insisted on delivering the sand to the hospital where #COVID2019 patients are being treated. This created a big buzz and so many arguments.
And just when we thought that this charade is ending, we woke up to the news that @OTVLebanon is celebrating the delivery of the 'Holy Saint Charbel sand' to the hospital. Bragging about how some sand will cure #COVID2019 and how they made it happen. What century is this again!?
