A witness to the act described how the glass of the chapel’s interior was shattered, and the statue of the Virgin Mary was removed, with its head torn off. 

Across Europe, incidents of vandalism targeting Christian places of worship are increasingly frequent. Churches, chapels, and religious monuments have become targets for acts of destruction, often reflecting deeper societal tensions or a growing disregard for religious symbols.

Statues of saints, altars, and sacred relics are being defaced, stolen, or destroyed, leaving communities in shock. Such acts not only cause significant material damage but also emotionally wound the faithful, for whom these sites are places of spiritual and cultural significance.

Authorities in various European countries are now facing mounting pressure to increase security measures and address the underlying causes of these attacks.
