Thousands flock to Indonesian volcano for Hindu ritual sacrifice

Thousands of Hindu worshippers climbed an active volcano in Indonesia on Thursday to throw offerings from crops to livestock down its smouldering crater in a centuries-old religious ceremony.

No disrespect to our Hindu brothers, but I got a chuckle out of the group trying to snag the sacrificial offerings out of the air.

Same, not going to disrespect, but isn't the purpose of 'offering' part of the whole trek? Kinda like i'm taking my ball and going home thing when you 'net' the offerings lol.
