  Is it right that we, as Orthodox Christians, keep these bones with us in boxes also?

  LOOOL! Thoxsasi, have you run out of questions?
  
  Whenever I want to think of random questions (I do it for fun, like you), I open up my Bible and start reading.
  You'll encounter a lot more {meaningful} questions that I'm sure will be of much benefit to the rest of us. :)
  
  I sure did get a good laugh out of this one though.

  Guys,
  
  THis is a serious story.
  
  Many of our bishops carry and transport with them the relics of saints.
  
  Our Church has the relics of Saint George, and I can tell u: He wasn't martyred in Hertfordshire!! That's for sure!!!

  of CANONIZED saints....not any bones.....also that box that you see in their hands doesn't have much.....it fact, it's normally like a very very small part of a bone in that box.
  ALSO, more importantly, they have special papers that go with the box to validate its passing through in an airport or secure places.

  Did the monk dig up her skeleton as stated:

  If he did, then I would think that that is a bit extreme.
  He got charged for theift, desecrating the dead, and also got suspended from his monastic duties for
  three monthes for leaving his monastry without authorisation.

  But seriously ILSM,
  
  Had this monk travelled with Egypt Air or British Airways, I'm sure they'd have been asked to pay for an extra seat.
