Country: Spain

Date of incident: March 18, 2023


During Saturday night, March 18, three churches in the Navarre region were burgled: the parishes of Santacara, Mélida and Murillo el Fruto. In the church of Murillo el Fruto, thieves committed a desecration by opening the tabernacle and throwing away some consecrated hosts.

Thus, Sunday March 19, an extraordinary mass was held in the parish of Murillo el Fruto, during which an "act of reparation" was carried out. "Let us pray to God for the conversion of those who have caused this invasion", the Comunidad Foral parished shared on social media.

The police have been notified.
