Another prayer request

[Khaleas]

I just read in the Finnish news that an icon has been stolen from the Cathedral in Helsinki. It's an icon of St Nicholas (I just venerated it just over a week ago and always light a candle there for our sailors).

(I know you don't understand the text but there's a pic of the icon).
They believe there might be someone who has seen the thief.
During the summer the church is open to tourists for most of the day.

I hope the catch the thief. It is a shame to steal icons. This is the reason that Greek Churches are under lock and key lately. The Churches used to be open all day from sunrise to sundown but ....not any more, sadly :(

God bless,

:crosseo: Why anyone would steal an icon is beyond me?
