Description: Press photo of a man holding snakes in a church service in Cartersville, Georgia; June 1983.
Photograph is stamped on the back with a date of June 5, 1983.
Caption on the back of the photo says: At a chapel in Cartersville, Ga., true believers interpret literally the Bible passage saying 'They shall take up serpents.' Members of the snake handling cults are still found in the remote backwoods of the South and in the mountain hollows of Appalachia. The pastor of this church says the snakes are not passed around freely. He says, 'When people get right enough with the Lord, they come up and handle them.'
