Figure of Jesus broken into pieces: Cross in Tarnow Vandalised
On the night of November 7, vandals broke a statue of Christ on the missionary cross in front of the church in Tarnow-Klikowa, into small pieces. Also, the statue's head was stolen. The parish priest and the faithful are convinced that it was a deliberate act of desecration.
The statue of Christ was broken into small pieces. Only the hand of Jesus, attached with a nail, remained on the cross. The figure of Christ was made of fiberglass. The police are investiating.
"After the policemen finished their activities, we collected parts of the broken figure, but there is no head of Jesus among them. It seems that whoever destroyed the crucifix took it with him or threw it somewhere", said Father Wiszniewski.
The same incident happened in Tarnow in January, as we reported.
