Orthodox Cathedral Turned into Public Toilet

Country: Serbia

Date of incident: April 19, 2004


The Orthodox cathedral of Christ the Savior in Pristina, still under construction, with its consecrated foundations and cross, where Holy Liturgy was periodically served before the war while it was still under construction, has been turned into a public toilet, while the property around the church has become the squatting ground of Roma emigrants from the Republic of Albania.

The church of Christ the Savior was to have been completed in 1999; however, the eruption of war interrupted further work.  Source: Information Service of the Serbian Orthodox Church
