Baby Jesus Stolen From Church Nativity Scene Near Crystal City [View all]
No, I'm not saying this is a funny or good thing to do. What caught my eye was the likeness of the baby Jesus: a blue-eyed blond.
Baby Jesus Stolen From Church Nativity Scene Near Crystal City
by ARLnow.com — January 4, 2016 at 5:15 pm
A church near Crystal City is praying for the return of Christ, after a porcelain figure of the baby Jesus was stolen from its nativity scene over the weekend.
Baby Jesus was stolen from outside Calvary United Methodist Church (2315 S. Grant Street), in the Aurora Highlands neighborhood, sometime between 8 p.m. Saturday and the next morning, when parishioners showed up for Sunday worship services.
Police were called and took a report Monday, though hopes of cops catching the perpetrator are low. Rev. Matthew G. Smith said he’s hoping the thief has a change of heart and repents — by returning the Son of God to his rightful place in the manger, at least until the nativity scene is brought inside next weekend. Alternatively, the little Lord could also be left on the front steps of the church or brought, in person, to the front office.
