    Athens, November 22, 2013
        
    Cases of vandalism in churches of Heraklion and graffiti in Arabic left by criminals, which have become more frequent, are causing the authorities and the Archdiocese of Crete serious concern, reportsSedmitza.ru, citing the Greek agency Romphea.
    Another crime of this kind has been committed in a very small church of St. Marina not far from the village of Avgenika.
    As it was in the previous cases, the criminals or criminal acted in the same way. The icons inside the church were removed from the walls, stacked on the altar, then doused with an inflammable liquid and set on fire, reports the Patris newspaper.
    Moreover, the criminals or criminal left graffiti on the walls in Arabic or in some other Oriental language.
    The vandal attack happened at noon. The crime was discovered by the village residents, who saw smoke from the burning icons pouring out of the church windows. They also reported that they had seen a strange car moving near Avgenika.

    A shocking sight opened to the parishioners of a small Church in Ligaria (Iraklion region) on Crete, reports Sedmitza.ru.
    At night, unidentified people (probably neo-pagans) forced the door, penetrated into the Church, desecrated the liturgical vessels and left graffiti of anti-Christian content on the walls. Judging by the content of the blasphemous slogans, it can be supposed that the vandals were neo-pagans: one line of graffiti expresses displeasure that "ancient Christians destroyed pagan temples". The forensic expert discovered ash in the centre of the church, so there is reason to suppose that “satanic rituals were conducted" there.
    This event has sent shockwaves through the community of Crete, which has expressed indignation at the desecration of the Orthodox church.
    It should be noted that neo-paganism in Greece (as well as in Russia and other European countries) has gained popularity over recent years. As a result, attacks on Christians and Christian Shrines have become more frequent.
