CALTANISSETTA-(MaraviPost)-The Church containing the relics of St Agatha of Sicily was recently vandalized and the ‘body’ desecrated by the vandals.
According to local reports, the vandals broke into the Church of St. Agatha al Collegio in Caltanissetta, Sicily, Italy where the relics of St Agatha is place.
Suspected men therefore vandalized the tabernacle.
They also stole some religious artifacts and depictions, broke hosts (Holy Communion ) and destroyed the depictions of the Virgin Mary at the alter.
Although the main body of St. Agatha was buried at the Church of the Abbey of St. Agatha in Catania, her relics is at Church of St. Agatha al Collegio in Caltanissetta which the Church dedicated to her is the one vandalized.
St Agatha is one of the over 250 Saints of the Catholic Church whose body was preserved from decay.
Saints’ remains are said to have ‘incorrupt’ body after their bodies or a part of it showed no sign of decomposition.
However, two men have already been arrested in connection with the incident after some of the missing items were found in their possession.
See more photos from the scene below.

They’re very scared and show remorse, let them be released for their judgement day is close at hand, and probably should be home protecting their families .
They may have Italian names but those are Muslim pigs.
Moslens of course.
Not Italians of course.
This photo is a further desecration, in my opinion <3 What God held incorrupt, these men have violated. Respect MUST be given for the remains of this saint The images must be pulled, and the body properly tended too. This is more than a crime scene, this is a massacre of something very sacred..and I am referring not only to the saint, but the very body of Christ in these communion hosts. Please show respect and remove these photos in the name of decency.
Incredible, I hope they repent.p
Truly, our battle is with the dark powers of this world, Satan being the “leader”.
As difficult as it surely is, we must pray for these #2 poor, lost souls and for their repentance for such, presumably, grave sins they’ve committed.
We must also ask God for forgiveness for allowing this outrage to occur.
Shame on them and at the same time i pray for them, then need to serve time in jail,!!…
The author of the article needs to go back to elementary school for grammar and spelling lessons.
How horrible. I ask her prayers every day. She is a patron of nurses and my daughter is a nurse.
You can run but you can never hide from the Almighty.
Such hatred destroys man.
The descecration of the relics is monstrously evil, but the desecration of the Blessed Sacrament, really and truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, is infinitely worse and should have headlined the article, not just mentioned as an aside.
You think that they are Italian ? Maybe not , check the DNA. I wonder what would be their reaction if it happened to their mothers grave ? and their mothers just common women who didn’t instill any respect in them ,obviously.
So sad to see.
