In New Mexico, over eleven thousand people have visited a tortilla chip that appeared to have the face of Jesus Christ burned into it.
In 1996, the owner of Bongo Java in Nashville, Tenn., said he discovered a cinnamon bun bearing the likeness of Mother Teresa in profile.
(Surprised we haven’t had such “miracles” in the Coptic church)

Kissing Booth: Have a booth with casts of the hands of H.H. and other bishops and priests for people to kiss.
Gypsy Children: Have the 1st or 2nd grade kids (the cuter the better) wander about selling candy or other small items. Crying when the person refuses. Guilts most into buying.
Older Gypsy Children: While people are pre-occupied with the little ones. These pick the pockets of the people
Make a Miracle: A booth where you photoshop composite pictures taken of customers with H.H. or other prominent clergy members or even saints. (Sad but you’d be suprised at the income this generates.)
Relic Raffle: Raffle off such “relics” as a cup the pope drank from, a bishop’s handkerchief, et c.
For those who dislike either political candidate for president. Here is a Coptic alternative (the entire site is worth a look):(thanx m.g.)

Do you feel inadequate in church?
Want to be capable of doing metonias all night long?
Afraid your significant other will leave you for some one who performs better in prayer?
Then try AGPEIA (horologion) ecclesiastically prove to improve ones spiritual life. Just 20 minutes 7 times a day and find yourself the prayer warrior you always knew you were.
Act know and get PSALMODIA (psalmody) free. Great for that late night boost.

If in a position to do so or have some influence, with a newly ordained priest, have all the deacons serving in the altar be young and inexperienced. Then give them instructions like, during incense rounds the deacon needs to race Abouna around the altar or they need to scream out the responses in as loud a voice as they can. The inexperience of all involved will provide amusement.
Disclaimer: If things are traced back to you, chances are good you will suffer some sort of ecclesiastical punishment.
