Ukrainian Orthodox Church Plundered and Desecrated

Country: Other

Date of incident: November 22, 2015


The perpetrators stole money from the cash register of the church, and lit fires in five different locations in the building.

According to the Diocese:  "Last year, ten churches in the Diocese of Sarny were looted and desecrated. It's a shame that vandals still continue to destroy the holy places of the Polesie region, causing pain in the heart of the faithful of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. By their actions, the criminals create a bleeding wound on the body of our church."  Source: Orthodoxie
