Monastery in Alicante Vandalized

Country: Spain

Date of incident: May 7, 2017


On the morning of May 7th the chaplain of the Monastery de la Santa Faz discovered seven intentionally-inverted crosses on the columns of the sanctuary, Satanic symbols on the armored glass case that protects the Santa Faz relics. Additionally, a liturgical prayer book and the diary where the acts of worship are recorded were stolen. Police opened a forensic investigation.

The police are investigating their theory that the perpetrators hid inside the monastery  from Saturday to Sunday and then left the scene of the crime when the doors were opened. Source: Información
