900 year old precious relic stolen

[BlueSapphire]

Rare precious relic from cross Jesus died on stolen in audacious raid at Holy Cross Abbey Ireland.

AN INVALUABLE holy relic said to be from the cross Jesus Christ died on has been stolen from an ancient monastery in Ireland.

The miniature artefact brought to Holy Cross Abbey in Thurles, Co Tipperary, in the late 12th century was taken by two masked men yesterday in a broad daylight raid.

Armed with an angle grinder, hammer and screwdriver, the pair stole a gold and bronze cross about 12 inches high with a glass-fronted centrepiece used to hold the relic.

It had been stored securely in a steel-bound display case.

Father Tom Breen, parish priest of Holy Cross Abbey, said the relic has been the source of devotion and pilgrimage for the last 900 years.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give is this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptaion but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Even in our modern secular world, the Cross is still regarded as a highly sought after object.

It is very sad indeed. Hopefully whoever took it will be burdened by it’s weight and bring it back where it belongs.
