Parched Cyprus prays to heavens for rain
Cyprus is looking for divine intervention to overcome its worst drought in almost 10 years, as the island’s archbishop, Chrysostomos II, has asked priests to pray for rain when they preach their sermons on Sunday.

In a circular issued to all of Cyprus’s priests yesterday, Chrysostomos called for special prayers to be offered on December 2 to end the drought.

“Justifiably, our people are anxious, because if the drought continues there will be severe consequences not only for agriculture, livestock farming and forestry but also for the sources by which our towns and villages are supplied with water,” the archbishop said.

Reservoir levels are at only 8 percent of capacity, compared to 25 percent at the same time last year. Reservoir levels in Cyprus are at their lowest since 1998.

All taken care of.

Would the Archbishop ask for divine intervention for the Cyprob too, while at it?

I don't think so. He's probably on Fanos list of casino visitors, or even has some shares in one.

Less water in beer too!

And McDonalds will start serving Coke instead of dirty water...

Dont worry,

I am dusting off my headfeathers and sacred tomahwaks, and will be doing a rain dance on Troodos. Never fails to bring rain. Did it a few days ago in Peloponnesus and it brought down firkins of rain. Overdanced a bit though and it flooded, will be more careful in Cyprus. I will come when my agent Mr Fanos fixes the contract and we figure out the percentages. Anyone want to bet it will work!
