(Not a picture of the contaminated well described below.)Ironically enough, Epiphany celebrations in Russia led to a great number of people being poisoned by holy water. It's ironic because if I were to be poisoned by holy water, I would have an Epiphany: that the water isn't really holy at all, and is probably brimming with the same micro-organisms and toxins that contaminate most of the water in Russia.
It's heartening to know that God can take time off (from killing Haitians and sending teams that pray really hard to the Superbowl) in order to poison some of his own followers. As always, the secular solution is much simpler than the religious rationalization here. Water is water: whether it's "holy" or not, it can still be contaminated. The "power" of god(s) is no match for boiling your water. Remember this if you're ever on Survivor.
