I find no reason to poke fun at the President. This is very different than when Bill Clinton consumed the Eucharist. President Bush is showing respect, Clinton only thought he was.

"Hey, who's the guy without the beard and wearing the tie?!" [ Linked Image] Monomakh I keep hearing in my mind the old Sesame Street (or was it The Electric Company?) song: "One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong. Can you guess which thing is not like the others before I finish my song?" Fr David Straut

I'd have to zoom in very close, but the lighting looks off in luminosity and direction. It looks like President Bush is hit with an incandescent light from one source, and the Orthodox priests are bathed in natural light from multiple sources.
What is in his left hand? It looks like he's holding someone's hand but that would be odd in that shot.

Hate to say it - but it's genuine - saw it being set up on TV tonight - came in and saw it on the goggle box - and nearly dropped.
No ,definitely not photoshopped

The abbot (or Bishop? I am ignorant in reading Eastern monastic attire) just to the left of the President - why is he wearing three Panagia (I think that's what they are called, the fancy pendants with an icon on them).
Here is an opportunity for you all to educate me!

Sieglinde The man to whom you refer is His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilus III of Jerusalem. By the way, I am not sure who the Hierarch is with whom President Bush is holding hands. But I do think they are holding hands! Fr David Straut

Terry In the Clinton situation, part of the blame belongs to the priest, who should not have given the Eucharist to a non-Catholic. Same with Reagan. The Church has the responsibility to guard the Body & Blood of Christ.

Ray, these are beautiful pictures, where was the president when these were taken? Which bishops are these?
