Italy (Vatican): Man Vandalizes Altar in St Peter's Cathedral

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


St Peter’s Cathedral Altar of Confession

Yesterday in the Vatican, a man climbed onto the altar of St Peter’s Cathedral and threw candelabras to the ground causing considerable damage. He was promptly stopped by the Vatican Gendarmes. 

This is just the latest incident in Europe of attacks upon Christian churches and cathedrals by foreigners (in this case, a Romanian). I just hope that Pope Francis was there to witness it. He’s the one who wants Italy and the rest of Europe to let these characters in.

The below article from RAI News (It) is translated by Fousesquawk. The article includes a video of the incident.

Rome: A man climbs onto the altar at St Peter’s and devastates it, the video

He throws 6 candelabras from 1865 worth about 30,000 euros to the ground and damages them-stopped by Vatican gendarmes, he was identified and charged.

February 7, 2025

Moments of tension this morning in the Basilica of St Peter. A man climbed onto the Altar of Confession under the Bernini Baldichin (canopy), throwing 6 candelabras from 1865, worth about 30,000 euros, to the ground and damaging them. The gesture was recorded by many pilgrims and tourists present in the basilica. The man, promptly stopped by the Vatican Gendarmes, is originally from Romania. Turned over to the Vatican Inspectorate Staff, he was identified and reported.

It’s not the first time that inconsiderate gestures have happened in the basilica. A similar episode occurred on September 4, 2019, also beneath the canopy, a 50-year-old from Santa Marinella was stopped after having climbed on the altar and throwing a candelabra to the ground.
