Theft of Consecrated Host in Andalucia
In the afternoon of March 11th, a small container holding the consecrated host was stolen from the Franciscan Monastery in Jaén.
Reporting the theft on its Facebook page, the Pastoral-Universitaria Jaén expressed its hope that it would be found quickly and unharmed. Destruction of a consecrated host is considered by the Catholic Church to be an act of desecration. Source: Facebook page of the Pastoral-Universitaria Jaén
