two-metre-high wooden cross cut down
In Curancy, Burgundy, on the night of 30 April, a two-metre-high wooden Christian cross was deliberately cut down and stolen from the woods. The vandals used a saw to cut it down and made off with it. Shocked by the incident, the mayor filed a police report, describing the act as 'a direct attack on a symbol of faith'.
According to the elected official, 'This cross represented the heart of the Christianisation of the area.' Everyone loves the Faubouloin chapel. It's at the centre of the town. This cross had great emotional significance."
In April, a statue of the Virgin Mary was also damaged in Mhere (OIDAC reported).
