The Christian Post website reports today (November 15, 2011) that a silver-gilded Holy Gospel book dating back to 1933 and other items that were stolen from a church in Buffalo, New York, have parishioners and church leaders devastated.
Robbers broke into the Saints Peter and Paul Eastern Orthodox Church in Lovejoy on November 12, and also stole more than $6,000 worth of copper that lined the roof of the church.
For the church, the greatest loss was the Holy Gospel book, much more so than the thousands of dollars worth of copper stolen.
"It's hard to even put a value on that book that was used in prayer here for many years," said Father Volodymer Zablotskyy, church pastor.
