The Dormition Abbey -- one of the major sites for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land -- was vandalized on May 31, the Big News Network website reports today (June 2, 2013).
Graffiti and anti-Christian insults in Hebrew were sprayed on a wall. Two cars were also smeared with offensive words and all the tires were slashed.
The Abbey is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem and cared for by German Benedictine monks. One of the gates of the nearby Greek Orthodox cemetery was also marked with graffiti.
The offensive words compared Christians to monkeys and called for revenge against Jesus. This incident is the latest in a succession of desecration of Christian monasteries in September and October last year.
