Revered Cross Stolen from St. Mary’s Church in Backworth, England. January 5th, 1879

During last mass one evening a gang of brigands assaulted the parishioners of St. Mary’s during the rite of communion. The masked men in dark clothing seemed to be only interested in an old Cross from medieval times that had hung in the church since it’s founding in 787 AD.

Information from witnesses mention that the thieves were coordinated and made sure no one interfered with their work to remove the Cross from the Church. Local constables have formed search parties and have been combing the woods and hills for the bandits but so far they have not been able to find anything. A reward has been posted by the people of Backworth in the amount of $500.00 to anyone that can return the town’s lost artifact.
