In France, a criminal stole the remains of Saint Nicholas from the Basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port and burned them, the community in Lorraine said in a statement on social media.
The police were able to quickly identify the thief and arrest him. According to the Christian Tribune portal, during the investigation he admitted that he allegedly tried to fight fascism, comparing the worship of relics to the practice of superstitions. This is the third attack on the basilica since the beginning of the year.
