Cross Vandalized on Sisco, Corsica

Country: France

Date of incident: April 27, 2023


A cross on the Saint Jean pass in Sisco, Corsica, was found vandalized at the end of April. The nearly two-metre-high cross was placed on the pass more than twenty years ago by the inhabitants of Sisco.

This is one of the four acts of anti-Christian vandalism which have been recorded in Corsica in recent months. A statue of Mary in Petit Capo had just been vandalised a few days before the cross was decapitated, and a makeshift altar at a scout camp in Varo was vandalised shortly after this. In May, another statue of Mary was found decapitated in Ajaccio.
