Baby Jesus figurines stolen from 3 different mangers in Wisconsin
Quote:
In all three incidents involving Lutheran churches, only the baby Jesus figurines were stolen, lifted right out of their managers."I said, 'Hey, baby Jesus is gone,'" said Marvin Marotz, a parishioner who noticed the problem Sunday outside St. Paul Lutheran Church.When police responded and checked other churches, they found baby Jesus figurines also had been absconded the same day from holiday crèches outside Christus Lutheran Church and St. Martin Lutheran Church.Police Chief Terry Lorge suspects the thief believes that such displays should be historically accurate -- and should not include Jesus until the day Christians celebrate his birth.
