Relic of Pope John Paul II's Blood Stolen From Italian Cathedral
A Gold and crystal casing holding drops of the blood of Saint Pope John Paul II was stolen from the cathedral of the central Italian city of Spoleto, its bishop said on Thursday.
The casing, known as a reliquary, was snatched on Wednesday from an altar dedicated to the Polish pope, who died in 2005 after a 27-year reign.
An employee who was closing the cathedral for the night discovered the theft of the reliquary, which encased a vial holding a few drops of blood.
Police have now started an investigation into the theft. The authorities have been reviewing security camera footage inside and outside the cathedral for clues.
The vial was given to the church in 2016 by a Cardinal.
