There were approximately 3,000 attacks on churches, schools and Christian symbols in Europe in 2019 alone: eight per day. Reports indicate it’s only got worse since. In France alone, 1,000 attacks occur against churches in France each year. In Britain last week, a Jesus statue at a war memorial in the Catholic church of St Alban’s was beheaded and desecrated with Arabic graffiti. Now, an unnamed suspect has stolen and destroyed relics of Father Christmas himself, **St Nicholas**, in France. French police have arrested a suspect who allegedly stole and burned the bones of St Nicholas, bishop of Myra, from a basilica in Lorraine on 28 October. The parish priest filed a complaint on 2 November about the alleged theft at the police station in Dombasle-sur-Meurthe. The police immediately opened an investigation. The alleged theft occurred at the Basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department of Lorraine. French police identified the suspect, who has not publicly been named, and arrested him at his home. The suspect purportedly claimed he spontaneously smashed the protective case containing the bones of St Nicholas. In addition, the suspect allegedly said he was driven by a “desire to destroy” the relic, which he said is “a form of idol worship”. > [The suspect allegedly](https://dailycaller.com/2026/11/09/suspect-stole-burned-bones-st-nicholas-relic-french-basilica-arrested-santa-claus/?ref=goodoil.news) burned and crushed the remains. He appeared in court at the Judicial Court of Nancy and underwent a psychiatric evaluation, which determined he was legally responsible for his actions. French Catholic outlet *Catholix* reacted to the incident, saying the destruction of the relic “wipes out a piece of the religious history of Lorraine and of France”. St Nicholas was the bishop of Myra in the fourth century. He was imprisoned by Roman emperor **Diocletian**, who persecuted Christians, and was released under the rule of **Constantine I**. St Nicholas was known for his generosity, including giving marriage dowries to poor girls who would have otherwise been forced into prostitution. Today, he is commonly known as the main inspiration for Santa Claus. While St Nicholas was buried in Myra, his remains were allegedly stolen in 1087 by Italian sailors, who took them to Bari. In 1098, knight **Aubert de Varangéville** brought a bone from St Nicholas’ right hand to Lorraine. **Duke Rene II** declared St Nicholas the patron saint of Lorraine and commissioned the basilica to house his remains following the Duchy of Lorraine’s victory in the Battle of Nancy in 1477. The theft of the saint’s bones is not the only incident that has impacted the basilica. In February, the basilica was evacuated because of a fire that may have been set deliberately. And to this very day, the French police claim they have no conclusive idea how Notre-Dame de Paris burned down. A “construction worker” left cigarette butts on the scaffolding, and yet we still don’t know the names of the workers on site that day. Right. > [The church desecration](https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-16278343/saint-nicholas-relics-destroyed-france.html?ref=goodoil.news) comes just weeks before the Feast of Saint Nicolas, which marks the anniversary of his death. > > The incident is also the latest in a string of high-profile thefts, vandalism and arson attacks targeting Christian heritage sites across France. The silence over the suspect’s name speaks for itself. Once again, by refusing to tell us, they’re telling us. French authorities have no trouble naming and identifying suspects in other cases. When the perpetrator fits a certain profile, the name vanishes from the public record. The pattern is too consistent to be accidental. Media and police across Europe have perfected the art of the unnamed suspect whenever the details would complicate the preferred narrative about ‘diversity’ and ‘social cohesion’. The suspect’s motive – attacking ‘idolatry’ – is another giveaway. That is not the language of a random vandal or a mentally ill atheist. It is the language of a specific religious prohibition. Which faith has such a hostile attitude to ‘idols’ that they’ve destroyed everything from the Buddhas of Bamiyan to the ancient statues of Nineveh? Which faith demands that crucifixes are so offensive they must be removed from ‘multi-faith prayer centres’? The answer is not a mystery. St Nicholas has survived Diocletian’s persecution, the theft of his remains by Italian sailors and nearly a thousand years in Lorraine. He has not survived the current wave of desecrations that accompanies Europe’s demographic transformation. The bones have now been destroyed by a man whose name the authorities will not release. The pattern is the same from France to Britain and to every other country that has opened its borders and then pretended not to notice the consequences. When the statues of Christ are beheaded and the bones of St Nicholas are burned, the silence about the suspects is the loudest statement of all. --- 💡 ****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.**
