There's this thing they do on the Greek island of Kefalonia to celebrate the falling asleep of the Virgin Mary. There's this village where every year a whole bunch of snakes enter the church and slither up to the Virgin Mary, whose statue is at the front, and then slither onto her heart, and then slither away.

Other times Kefalonia came up
It was a mostly email-based competition-judging thing for me. I didn't get to go to the ball. This island is in Kefalonia, an Ionian island, and it has a cave where the sea flows into the land. So it goes the other way. Confusing. and it makes its way through the island there's a kind of porous rock under the island and it comes out on the other side of the island, right?
