The thief dressed as a woman to steal icons from the temple

The thief disguised himself as a woman to take the icons out of St. George’s Church. The video caught the moment of the theft of the icon of the Mother of God “Smolensk-Shuyskaya”.

It is noteworthy that the shrine itself does not carry material value. The rector of the temple gave time until noon the next day, so that the thief came to his senses. Otherwise, a statement will be made to the police.

The situation is under control. The parishioners hope for the return of the shrine. Official services have not yet commented on what happened.
