Fire destroys Polish Orthodox holy shrine at Grabarka
Orthodox pilgrims mourn the burning of the Grabarka Holy Mountain chapel, a 300 year old church revered by Poles and Byelorussians. A suspect on five day leave was charged with arson to steal a gold cross. The fire, seen as an attack on Orthodoxy, left the hilltop altar and icon collection in ashes while funds poured in for a new church.
