About me

edit

I'm a language and science enthusiast. I don't really write a lot, but I read a lot in Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia is a platform where we can genuinely share our knowledge. I'm here to learn as well as contribute. One more you share, one more the whole world know about. So stop hesitating and get to work!!

Your opinion will make my best improvement.

Snake handling in Christianity is a rite performed in several churches in the United States. Originating in rural Appalachia, the first instance of snake handling was seen about 1910. Pentecostal minister George Went Hensley was prominent in the early development of the rite. Practitioners commonly quote the gospels of Luke and Mark to support the practice. Practitioners are also encouraged to lay hands on the sick, speak in tongues, and occasionally drink poisons. This photograph, taken by the American photographer Russell Lee in 1946, depicts snake handling at the Church of God with Signs Following, a Pentecostal church in Lejunior, Kentucky.
