Of course I didn't. I was referring only to the fingers used and
which is well described in both articles "Bekreuzigen" and
"Sign of the Cross". Orthodox worshippers use the thumb, the
pointer and the middle finger.

I don't know (and don't care) whether Sabazios faith has any
relevance, and I didn't refer to a special Serbian sign: I only
wished to point out that the usage of these fingers has a
general + special significance in the world of Orthodox
christians - a detail that a Protestant netizen from Denmark
might not be aware of.
