Title: Stolen Relic of the Cross Found Post by: Shin on August 17, 2010, 06:42:52 PM One of the Archdiocese of Boston's most cherished relics that had been missing from its mother church for over a month has been returned to the archdiocese.
The relic of the True Cross, which had been housed in a reliquary in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston's South End, was turned in to the Vermont State Police. Officials from the cathedral retrieved the relic on Aug. 15. According to an incident report released by the Vermont State Police, the relic was recovered on Aug. 9 after they received a call about a domestic argument that involved Earl Frost, 34. Frost turned the relic over to Vermont State Police, and claimed he got it from an "unidentified third party" in Rhode Island. Because Vermont State Police did not have confirmation of the relic's authenticity at the time they received it from Frost, they did not have enough evidence to hold him on possession of stolen property charges. According to the incident report, Frost has since "fled the area and his whereabouts is unknown at this time." A warrant is being sought for his arrest. - Boston Pilot Excerpts Title: Re: Stolen Relic of the Cross Found Post by: Brigid on August 17, 2010, 06:45:30 PM One of the Archdiocese of Boston's most cherished relics that had been missing from its mother church for over a month has been returned to the archdiocese.
