The Worldwide Religious News website reports today (July 8, 2012) that Spanish police have arrested four people in connection with the theft of a priceless collection of 12th century religious manuscripts.
Spain's Interior Ministry says an electrician who worked at a cathedral in the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela -- from where the Calixtinus Codex was stolen a year ago -- has been arrested along with his wife and son, and another woman.
The missing, richly-decorated tome is considered the first guide for people making the ancient Christian pilgrimage -- known as the Camino de Santiago -- the Spanish name for the Way of St. James.
Police found $1.26 million in a house belonging to one of the detainees.
