Customers at a newly-opened coffee shop in the Croatian capital of Zagreb pay with prayers instead of money for drinks, the Ananova news website said on Tuesday.

The number of prayers depends on a kind of a drink the visitor wants to order. The most expensive beverage at the Jedro cafe is Coca-Cola, which costs five 'Hail Marys,' while a cappuccino costs four 'Our Fathers'.

No alcoholic beverages are served in the shop, which is financed by local parish authorities in Zagreb's Jarun district. Hardly surprisingly, the cafe is enjoying great popularity among locals.

"We started out with only five tables, but we have so many people coming here now that we are already up to 20 tables and it is growing all the time," said a spokesman for the shop.
