Consecrated Hosts and Reliquary Stolen
At the beginning of February, a reliquary with the consecrated hosts was stolen from the tabernacle of the Mother Church in Locorotondo.
The Archbishop of Brindisi-Ostuni Monsignor Giovanni Intini stated in a letter to parish priests "spirit of vigilance is needed".
For the record it should be noted that a local group on Facebook has been inundated with short videos containing satanic imagery, including references to the devil, the number 666, the snake, and Lucifer. However, occasionally there are frames that depict hosts, which may be related to the theft of the hosts consecrated in the Mother Church. Currently, there is no evidence for a connection and further investigation is required.
