<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 11522233, member: 2844&quot;]A lot of European ones were stolen from chapels and churches. Most chapels used to be open daily for the faithful, but not for looters. Nowadays many faithful will just have to pray and light their candles at home, because most churches and chapels are locked.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a small chapel in a nearby village, very idyllic on a small hill surrounded by trees. The chapel is devoted to the local guild of St John the Baptist, and it had a Medieval woodcarving of the head of St John. When it was stolen in the 1970s, the people were heartbroken (as was I, I love the village and the chapel). They collected funds to have a replica made. After a few months the wrought iron fence in the chapel was broken and even the replica was stolen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
