Hundreds of members of World Peace and Unification church get their guns blessed in Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of couples packed a World Peace and Unification Sanctuary church in Pennsylvania
to bless their weapons on Wednesday
The church believes the gun is the "rod of iron" cited in the Book of Revelation
A woman wears a crown of bullets in the ceremony in the rural Pocono Mountains
Guns were blessed with holy water during the event, scheduled before 17 people were shot dead
in a Florida school
The church believes the Florida shooting could have been avoided had teachers been armed
Guns were inspected to make sure they didn't hold bullets, with zip ties added to stop them firing
Students from a school near the church were moved for the day while the event took place,
and protests were held outside
The Rev Yeon Ah Lee-moon with her golden gun - the church is a small group that splintered
away from the Unification Church founded by her father-in-law, the late self-proclaimed
messiah Rev Sun Myung-moon
The church, whose members are derisively called Moonies, has been accused of brainwashing
its followers, a claim it denies
