A different kind of blessing

As I said, the favorite saint here is the Divine Madman, also known as the "fertility saint". Women from all around the world visit his monastery to seek his blessing.

Walking to the monastery you will, what else then thousand of painted or carved phallus. Everything is about it here.















The monk on call blesses you by touching you with a phallus. I was not particularly excited about getting hit in the head with a wooden penis, but when in Rome do what the Romans do, right? Plus you do not want to make the Mad monk even madder, right?
