This story is sweet and horrific rolled into one. A monk dug up the remains of a nun in Athens and tried to smuggle it to Cyprus to give her a proper burial. He reckons she was a saint. The Greek Orthodox church disagrees with him on that one. They also condemn his behaviour and would like him to stop being a monk for now.

Athens luggage control opened this nervous monk’s bag yesterday and found a human skeleton inside. The monk and his two accomplices said where did that come from, and lifted their shoulders. They were ushered into a small room where, some time later, they were charged with defiling the remains of the deceased.

Of course they pleaded not guilty. What did they do wrong here? That nun was clearly a saint. If the church disagrees with them, stuff it. They’ll dig up her remains and go bury it in Cyprus themselves. She was a saint, goddammit!
