Woman Fined for Projecting Cross on Church Facade
A woman in the community of Callosa de Segura was sanctioned 100 euros per day for projecting the image of a cross on the wall of the church of San Martin.
After the city council decided, in spite of the objection of Christian groups, to remove the outer cross from the church, neighbor Teresa Agulló installed a projector on her balcony to shine a silhouette of a cross on the facade of the church.
The police fined her 100 euros each day for "invading the public space" and the city council ordered spotlights to shine on the church to prevent the illuminated cross from being seen from the street.
Citizen Go initiated a petition to support Teresa.
