Robbers loot 3rd century Saint Lucy relics in Venice church
Gunmen shattered the glass coffin at St. Geremia and stole a 1,700 year old skeleton of Saint Lucy while leaving the skull. Police set roadblocks around Venice as they search transit hubs for the two masked thieves, who may demand ransom or act for Sicilian religious extremists. The incident left a bronze plate over the shattered panel and the priest unhurt with relics intact only for the skull. Saint Lucy, born in Syracuse in 283, is revered as a protector of eyesight.
