He was found in fields outside his city Bari, the small “treasure” of Agios Nikolaos, which had been stolen three days ago. Two gold rings, a precious religious pendant, a silver cross and a book with three silver spheres had been removed from the statue of the saint in the royal church of Bari.
The mayor of the city, Antonio Decaro, had spoken of “sacrilege” and of a huge insult to the whole city and its inhabitants “.
A 49-year-old Tunisian man has been arrested and charged for this illegal act, but he does not admit his responsibilities. The sacred objects were located in an agricultural area, by Italian police.
“The recapture of these treasures, of enormous symbolic value, makes us feel more confident in such a difficult historical moment,” wrote the Dominican monks of the Royal Church of Bari online.
It is recalled that the relic of Agios Nikolaos was transported to Bari, from Myra in Lycia, in 1087.
