A town is outraged after a church’s nativity scene was ripped apart and a figurine of Joseph decapitated.All Saints Church, in Ipswich, has set up the festive exhibit every Christmas for the last five years.He went on: ‘Why would someone have so much hatred and desire to ruin and destroy something that is not their property, and something that is there to express someone’s belief?
‘I am also saddened because I know the amount of work put in by so many at the church, and also saddened for the people that have done it. ‘What state might their life be like if they find pleasure in doing this? I am trying to make sense which I really can’t.’The vicar said he was ‘saddened and bewildered’ at the vandalism
Jane Cornish, a leader at the church, said: ‘It took a long time to put up the figures and make the display look nice, and we feel is something that is appreciated around here.‘We have got other ready-made figures which we use inside but they are not as sturdy, and to fix the figures would take a long time because they really are in little bits.’
Ipswich borough councillor Carole Jones said: ‘It’s hard to understand such mindless vandalism, especially as this is meant to remind people of Christmas.
